Coughs and Colds

What do you use to tame a cough or cold, either from over the counter, from the chemist or a favourite home remedy, plz share with us xxx

Depends how bad. Sometimes just get throat lollies. I usually go to the doctors though to get something.

I BUY Asdas own make of flu capsules, they work wonders for keeping you on your feet and it helps to slow up the sniffles and all the nasty stuff xxx

Well I am allergic to most over the counter cold meds so the only choices I have are cough drops or some type of honey and lemon tea. I can take Alkeseltzer Cold Plus but that is pretty much the only cold medicine I can take when I get sick.
