is there a cough remedy?

[hermykne]

ds has a slight cough, and i know they say nothing will rid it, it'll pass over 2 weeks but any old wives tales , anything.
its not bad but i just want to anticipate it getting worse.
no other symptoms.

We normally give DS a spoonful of honey, which seems to "damp" it down.

Or failing that a large Jemmy, no ice.

yes sherlcok the jemmy is for me
hes a monkey wont take the honey off the spoon for me.

Tell him he is too little for it, it is only for big boys, that should work.

Second Sherlock but mine is a honey and lemon drink. You could put it in a favourite beaker/sports bottle/fruit shoot bottle

going to make it up for tonight and he'll prob sip whilst half dozey if he has a coughing fit.

How old is he? Long steamy soak in the bath. Inhalation. Plenty of herbal tea. If they have trouble breathing through a blocked nose, GP told me to cut an onion in half and leave it on a bedside table overnight. Does seem to work but I don't know how it works.
