Bad cough

Does anyone know of any effective remedies for a tickly, dry cough?

I went to the doctor yesterday for it as I haven't slept properly in days, and she said it's probably viral so will have to wait until it goes away.

Until then, am I supposed to cough constantly? Cough syrups don't work.

This is driving me mad

Try a little honey and hot water, always works for me

Hot water is good

My OH reckons fizzy water helps too...but not sure about his thoughts on this.

I can sympathize tuti cos I have got it as well I have had a cough and cold for over a week now and its worse in the morning when I get up

Have you tried Benylin cos that is meant to be good and they do a range for different kinds of coughs, think they do a night time one that might help you to get some sleep.

I hope you are not keeping poor little Archie awake coughing all night - he needs his beauty sleep

a spoonful or two of honey works great and tastes yummy!

Lots of Vit C and Honey.....plus some Echinacia to boost your immune system....hope you feel better soon!

Must admit I am naughty and have neat (organic!) honey!!! but it works!

Honey and lemon in hot water can help.

its prob changes due to you giving up smoking the fine hairs in your throat are starting to function again

That ¡s the best every day a honey at least a teaspoon or a nice honey and milch (with a bit of rum )
