Ditto on the whiskey honey and lemon. After my mom had her heart attack and bypass surgery, she had a horrible cough - not a cold, just a dry hacking cough that they said is not unusual after such surgery. Needless to say coughing was quite painful for her since they slit her from throat to belly button - including the rib cage! So she took to drinking hot water with lemon honey and a shot of whisky in it. Now you must know that my mom is not a drinker by any means. She might have a beer maybe every 6 months or so when out to dinner, but other than that none for her thank you very much. So I was kinda shocked when she first told me of this therapy she had found - my dad isn't a drinker either so I was shocked that they actually had whiskey in the house. But at that point I was just glad she found something to make her feel better, and it's not like she did like Richard and over-indulged , she'd have maybe one a day, and the whiskey really helped calm her cough - and I'm sure it dulled the pain a little too.

So Gini, don't scoff, let Richard make you up a honey lemon and whiskey and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in no time. Hope you feel better so you can enjoy the rest of the flight. I hate flying when I have a cold and my head is all stuffy - blegh
