My husband made me take some Nyquil, because he wasn't getting any sleep, and it really works. I don't even move at night once I take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2014087 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:30:12 +0000 bunnylove08 2014087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the cough is caused by post nasal, using a neti pot or saline spray helps me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2014078 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:26:38 +0000 Mommy Finger 2014078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read somewhere that pineapple juice is better than cough syrup. I tried it last week and it worked if I was always sipping it but the combo of sugar and acid gave me a bit of a stomach ache. So, not sure if it's worth it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013697 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:13:38 +0000 MaryM 2013697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Codeine requires a prescription in the US. I'll use it when my cough is really bad at night because it makes me completely loopy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013688 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:10:34 +0000 Grace 2013688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try going to the pharmacist and ask for the cough suppressant with codiene. Apparently codiene is a good cough suppressant. At least the pharmacies will give it to you in Canada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013468 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:13:42 +0000 .twist. 2013468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: shhhhhhh. I still eat them like they're going out of style when I've got a sore throat because they're so healing. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013467 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:13:18 +0000 mediagirl 2013467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @MaryM: today I learned.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013464 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:12:36 +0000 MaryM 2013464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they no longer actually contain the marshmallow plant...but I think it's something in the coating that feels soothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013457 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:09:44 +0000 .twist. 2013457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Marshmallows were invented for *sorry, sore throats.

Hahaha. I'm annoyed enough to try it, though because yes, it's the itchiness that is causing me to cough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013448 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:05:26 +0000 MaryM 2013448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is your throat scratchy and causing the cough? Sometimes eating a large marshmallow or two will stop that itchy feeling for me and keep me from coughing more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013433 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:00:15 +0000 mediagirl 2013433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: dry....at least for now.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-remedies-1#post-2013429 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 10:57:46 +0000 MaryM 2013429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it a wet or dry cough?

What are your favorite cough remedies? Cough suppressants are not working, tea with honey is not working. It seems like cold things are working better than hot right now when it comes to liquids. </p>
