I had a cough like that a couple weeks ago and the only thing that really helped was a cough syrup, but a warm tea of some kind did soothe my throat for a little while. Hope you feel better soon!

Yes, I agree, cough syrup and Lemon -Honey in a nice hot cup of tea.

However, I'm with you on Cold Medicine , likewise, some of those cough syrups!!!! The cure can be worse than the cough itself!!!

Try using Vick Creme, and a vaporizer at night!!

Hope you are feeling much better soon!!!! Look on the bright side, you are getting a lower abdomin workout!!!

Can you catch a cold through a forum? *lol* it sounds like the same thing i had last week.

I ended up dealing mostly with chicken soup, lots of tea, Nyquill and Dayquill liquidgels from the drug store, and by now I probabally own stocks in the Ricolla and Halls cough drop companies. I highly recommend the Halls Center (red ones), and the Ricola Lemon/Honey lozenges

I started last week with the sore throat, cough, then got sniffles and sneezes, now I'm back to the sore throat!! Best thing I've found so far is a hot cup of tea with a good teaspoon full of honey. Trick is to drink it as hot as you can stand it. Also, Halls has a great selection of cough drops these days. Current favorite is grapefurit flavored with vitamin C and sugar free. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks guys. I'm not one for tea, but I sure like honey! I guess I'll have a cup o' tea when I get home.

I feel your pain- I've been sick too!! I'd recommend Ricola cough drops while you are in class, they can help relieve some of the irritation in your throat. I know you don't like to take medicine, but they are all natural and sugar-free. Also, hot tea seems sooth my throat, I'm drinking chamomile right now.
