Chesty Cough!!
Does anyone have any top tips or a sure fire cough medicine to get rid of a chesty cough - usually Benylin works for me but does not seem to be touching it - have had this cough for three weeks now and it is seriously getting in the way of my swimming!! Need to shift it this week without fail. I don't think it is a chest infection so I don't really want to bother the doctor!

tea with honey helps calm mine down for a few minutes of relief, but I don't know about permanently. I was barking like a seal yesterday with bouts of larengitis (I can't spell that word to save my life). Have had something on and off for two weeks - it seems to be going around, sorry0

Steam from a shower or the old steaming bowl with towel over your head. Tea with honey, Metamucil works wonders. My sister has high blood pressure and she can't take this so she takes Robutussin. Keep a vaporizor or humidifier on. Hope you feel better soon.0

Sudafed do a cough syrup. I found it great for loosening the chest. At night I have lemon, honey hot water and brandy. It knocks you out and you get a good sleep. :drinker:0

It's strange but it works. Before bed put a good ammount of Vicks rub on the bottom of your feet and then put socks on.0
