Cough Remedies

Psychological means are not enough when you have a persistent cough. If you try to will it to stop, you'll flip your lid or your top. I wouldn't recommend a drop. It won't work and syrup won't stop it, unless its ingredient is codeine. Then, you'll sleep well if you know what I mean.

Yes i was having this issue last night, and ginger tea helped alot! It works wonders, maybe try next time? Brilliant write, and cough syrups always cause drowsiness, not cool. Hope you are doing well dear david; sending you light always~

Thanks, Ink, I do have fresh ginger at home, so I should try it! Last night I only had one coughing spell though, so I think I'm about done with this.

The flu season is upon us. May good health continue. Thank you for the reminder. I need to buy cough drops.

I know exactly what you mean. Codeine is an excellent cough depressant since you're so deeply asleep that you know nothing.
