Favorite Cough Remedies

    What are your favorite cough remedies?

    I got a nasty cough from my wife a couple days ago and it is driving me nuts. Right now I am trying to avoid the doctor...but if it lasts through the week then I will break down and go. As for now I am up for you opinions.

    Rub vicks on the bottom of your feet. :D Really though...one my g'ma always did was put 2 tablespoons of honey and mix it with a glass of orange juice. One of those ol' home remedies that seem to do the trick.

    Simple Cough Syrup

    * 3 tbsp lemon juice
    * 1 cup honey
    * 1/4 cup warm water

    Combine lemon juice and honey in a bowl. Slowly stir in the water. Store in a covered jar in the refrigerator - take 1-2 tbsp as needed for cough.

    To soothe a sore throat, add 1 tbsp of mixture to a cup of comfrey root, chamomile or rosemary tea.

    There is only one remedy for EVERYTHING. And that is whiskey.

    I second the whiskey idea.

    I can't remember the last time i didn't have a bottle of Whiskey sitting in the cupboard in reserve, as a remedy for all sorts of maladies.

    From what I've heard........ you're lucky that you only caught a cough :)

    I caught a cough from my wife also....Blackberry Brandy helps.

    Mix honey, apple cider vinegar and cinnamon in a cup of hot water.

    I concur.

    That Zicam stuff also works really well, but whiskey = GOAT.
