Help! Literally can't stop coughing.... All tips, tricks, remedies welcome!

[Bilsonate]

I've got what I think is a post viral type cough. Felt hideous at the start of the week but the temperature/flu like symptoms have gone but now I have a cough.

And dear God. What a cough it is.

I have quite literally coughed non-stop since 8pm last night. I've thrown up, wretched, my throat is the most painful it's ever been and I've not slept at all. I'm completely broken.

What will fix this?!

All the remedies above obviously but also thyme - which is a new one to me but I've definitely found helpful.
Get some fresh sprigs of thyme and add them to your honey and lemon drink.

Generally though, constantly sipping warm water is the best thing. I have this cough too and have previously had pneumonia, and warm water is the best. All the honey and lemon and ginger and thyme is helpful but between times, warm water.

Thanks everyone! These are brilliant suggestions (apart from the sherry 🤢 although I do have some port left over for Christmas I could try...).

I actually found a bottle of pholcodine in a cupboard and have been taking that. It's worked astoundingly well tbh. I'm still coughing but not non-stop like I was and I actually managed to sleep this afternoon 🥳 I've since discovered that pholcodine has been withdrawn from the market and you can't get it any more! Who knew?! 🙈😂

Thats right you cant get it, which is a real shame for responsible coughers like me.
