Cough remedies

Does anyone have any cough remedies they swear by. I have had one of those tickly throat coughs for about 4 days now and have had next to no sleep. Ive tried 4 different cough mixtures, on that says its specifically for tickly coughs but none of them have done anything. Ive tried throat lozenges and sprays hoping if I numb the area I wont notice the tickle but its driving me up the wall. Everytime I breath it tickles then I start coughing and then cough so much I almost throw up!!!! Any ideas?

Vicks on the bottom of your feet at night time works a treat , I thought that is was just an old wives tale but both mine had coughs a couple of weeks ago so I tried it and they both slept soundly with no coughing all night.

It's true, my doctor says they are just a waste of money.
Lemon and honey drinks work, sucking on lozenges (don't fall asleep with them in your mouth though - I have before! )

Heat your room up at night, I find when I have an itchy cough, if the room temperature is cold, I cough more.

can you tell me how robitussin gets you knocked up? I use it here, and would liek to avoid that... (and sex too, obviously..)

fattarts - apparently (this is from memory so I might be wrong)is increases the quantity (or something)of CM so if you down it just before and during the fertile phase of your cycle then you have a greater chance of conceiving cos the spermies have more CM to swim in. That is probably really poorly described. Sorry
