Do not ask here as you will get those that think they are a Dr and give you wrong help

Get to the Doctor ASAP

Go to the doctor and stop drinking mouthwash.....you have probably poisoned yourself along with whatever else is wrong.

Doctor or call your dad and ask him to get a doctor.

Don't drnink mouthwash, it's for spitting out.

Hope you feel better soon.

Surely you haven't been swallowing mouthwash contravening the label?

Although mouthwash contains alcohol, it is usually denatured alcohol, which is unfit for human consumption or even methyl alcohol, which is poisonous and can cause blindness, organ failure and death. Mouthwash is designed to be expectorated rather than swallowed, and ingesting even a small amount can be detrimental. Ingesting amounts large enough to cause drunkenness can be extremely toxic and may lead to serious consequences.

Go to the doctor asap.

Joanie, can someone go to the drugstore for you and get some cough medicine for you. Something that will stop the coughing for awhile so you can get some sleep.

Really you should go to a Dr or hospital, you could have pneumonia, and suppressing the cough would probably make that worse.

So there ya go, two conflicting bits of advice, which basically means we can't help, you need to see a professional. If you don't want to go to the hospital maybe go to the drugstore. The pharmacist should be able to give you advice.

Go and see a Doctor asap.

If you have fluid on the lungs, which can be caused by a variety of reasons.

I've had it and it can feel like drowning, especially when you lie down and it collects,

then you cough etc etc etc ........

And as others have said, stop drinking the mouthwash, that could be one of the causes.

Thank you Kopenhagen for your sensible post.

It sounds to me, Joanie, that you have severe URTI, and if not treated, can descend into the lungs and a chest infection, which must be treated, probably with antibiotics.

Are you able to access free medical care?  Go ASAP to a doctor.

Joanie in your post in Snowed Under I gave you a link to the poisonous nature of mouthwash, but you said it makes you feel better.  Apart from the poisons it's full of alcohol so yes you might feel better but not for long. 

Just    don't     do      it.    please
