Those are great. If you don't mind a tiny bit of alcohol:
Mix together:
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (or equivalent)
1 tsp. pure vanilla
The honey makes it cling to the throat (at least that's the theory-- never stuck my head down a throat to find out!) and the lemon is supposed to 'cut through' the phlegm (Don't you just love that word?--yuk!). The alcohol calms the nerves in the throat that are in spasms.
Another one that worked for Whooping cough (when NOTHING else would work) was plain hot tea (any kind) with honey in it. Actually, hot water with honey did just as much good. I'd tried prescription cough syrups and OTC ones, but this worked best. God figure!
