Honey?

@autumnlove: Oh man! That makes it even worse I'm sure!

I'm turning to Dr. Google then:

Mullein tea for coughs and congestion
Mullein tea is well-known for relieving chest congestion from coughs, colds and the flu. It acts as an expectorant, loosening trapped mucous and soothing sore throats. Make mullein tea by filling a tea ball or strainer with dried mullein herb and steeping in a cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Sweeten with raw honey and drink as needed to relieve symptoms.

Here's a natural remedy that my mom used to give us for coughs. Now, I use it whenever I have a cough.

Buy yourself fresh ginger if you do not have any on hand. Slice two to three thin slice of the ginger (about 3 mm in width each) and pound it with the end of a knife or spoon to release its juice. Take the ginger and gently rub it on your neck/throat area before going to bed, this will help reduce the coughing you do so you can get some sleep. You can do this during the day, too, if you need to. I find that my coughs are worst at night. Do this each night until your cough goes away.

You can also thinly slice the ginger, put it in a cup of hot water, add some honey to sweeten and drink. This will soothe your throat.

or take a thin slice of ginger and chew on it. I prefer to do the other two. My brother swears by this, saying that it works better this way.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

@autumnlove: there are a ton of natural remedies out there. I'm sure you are so sick (literally) of being sick so maybe try some of them out. Most of them aren't too hard to try. Good luck!

hot water with lemon... like every 30 minutes. Get well soon!
