Chiari 1 malformation & Codeine cough syrup

New postby j016 on Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:41 pm

Hello
I was recently diagnosed with a Chiari 1 brain malformation. My herniation is 10mm and I have not had any surgeries for it.
I currently have bronchitis and am coughing non-stop. I know that coughing is bad for a chiarian so I am trying to hold it back as best I can. My primary doc gave me some Promethazine- w/Codeine cough syrup. He knows nothing about chiari, so I am always afraid of the things he says. On the pamphlet I got with the cough syrup- it says not to take if you have an brain conditions. I am wondering if it is safe for me to take the cough syrup w/codeine with my chiari malformation? A fast answer woudl be greatly appreciated so i can stop coughing with the medicine or try to find alternative methods of relief. Thanks!

The cough medicine should not affect the chiari malformation .

Main reason of the whooping cough is bacteria in air. So its better to use natural antibiotic products or herbal for curing the whopping cough. Here is two home remedies for cough
1)Extract onion juice and add honey. Use this mixture regularly for curing cough.
2)turmeric powder is best antibiotic product for preventing the cough.
