Please help me stop coughing!

[first1]

I've had a tickly annoying cough for a couple of days but felt fine in myself. Today however, well yesterday technically now, I've had a temperature. I've been in bed since 7 but only had about three hours sleep because I can't stop coughing it's making me gag. Like a reallllly annoying tickle I want to scratch the hell out of my throat. I'm sucking strepsils, taken night nurse and some pholcodine linctus. Apologies for such a wimpy whiney middle of the night plea but in desperate for some sleep before my toddler wakes up in a few hours! :-(

a spoonful of honey and let it dissolve slowly in your mouth - it's horrible isn't it. I was there last week. Hope it gets better soon

hot honey and lemon, sipped slowly? (with a dash of whiskey?)
Vicks vapour rub on your feet?
hot bowl of water (boiling) and breathe in the steam (with a towel over your head?)

hope you can get some sleep - coughs are awful, aren't they

Do you have any codeine in the house? It's an anti-tussive.
