cough remedies

[mccfluff]

help, im coughing so hard i make myself sick :-(

have got docs at 5 but i think i might be finally morphing into a cat, i resemble murph tryng to bring up a fur ball.....

anything i can take???? have tried ginger/honey and lemon tea with parcetemol -its nice but does fa. over the counter cough/cold products, nothing is shifting it (it being a mucous alienr in my chest)

maybe i need to do a john hurt

Wait until 5pm then Doc will give you a prescription for an inhaler.

[mccfluff]

why an inhaler, its a cough not asthma?

[Sqad]

God!....what a fool i am to suggest an inhaler.........forget it.

[mccfluff]

i was only asking why?

elective Caesarean it is then, with optional tracheotomy.

Fluff have you/can you try the nose over a bowl of hot water with menthol stirred through it to help clear loads of tubes?

Might help. (probably won't but was typed with the best of intentions)

[snags]

fluffs you have doubted sqad's diagnosis... you deserve everything you get now.

[mccfluff]

i hadn't tried that, but willing to try anything right now. i don;t have a cold though just this sodding cough

[vodkancoke]

Have you any lozenge-type thingys?

[mccfluff]

lol snags. i have given myself a telling off

[ummmm]

Sqad???? I'd ask the exact same question!! Go back and read the book of 'bed side manner'

[mccfluff]

cherry menthol things and hall soothers, both very nice, the menthol ones seem to help for a bit.

[albaqwerty]

the first thing the quack is going to ask you is 'Do you smoke?'
I went to mine about a joint problem and got told to stop smoking. What that has to do with my ankle I don't know.

steam inhalation may help ?

[friedgreentomato]

roll a bit of butter into a ball coat in sugar and place in mouth and allow to melt it will ease the irritation.

[maggiebee]

As Caligula would have said - cut your head off!!

[mccfluff]

i may go try the steam thing. on the basis that it might melt the alien....

[jno]

the butterball sounds really good to me, can it be used to treat any other ailments? Sore toe?

[mccfluff]

im not sure about butterballs, are you sure thats not something for the cat?

anyway kettle boiling

[anneasquith]

just a thought, could it be a furball ? :)
