I'll watch with interest i have the same problem!

ive been taking beechams powders which have taken the edge of the shivers.

It sounds old fashioned, but honey and lemon is good for a tickly cough. That and a hot milk drink (hot chocolate).

Me too! Fortunately dh is around all the time (no job ), so will see to the dds, but I still have to look after ds (5 months) so I'm not getting better as fast as I had hoped.

Sorry, no advice festiveface, but you have my sympathy, this cough is the pits isn't it? I can't even ring my friends for a moan because I can't talk without coughing!!
