Flu cough...your go to remedies are?

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

Day 5 of flu but started to feel abit better today but cough is kicking in now. Taking paracteomol and drinking to keep hydrated.

Do you have a remedy that you swear by for a cough? Got a feeling the cough is going to be lingering

Does hot water, lemon and honey work?

I was going to suggest that too, hot water lemon and honey.
I think it's always been known for coughs because it can't harm you and it is soothing.
Warm water helps to thin mucus in the throat and is hydrating as well.
Honey is known for soothing the throat and could act as a mild cough suppressant, and lemon well it's vitamin c and can help the immune system.
There are many OTC cough suppressants that will work too of course.

Sorry @Eggybreadwithnuts I forgot to say that I do hope you will be feeling better soon; coughs do tend to linger unfortunately!

Lemsip.
