Ah, the stuff where, when you thought about asking to stay home sick from school, but then you knew mom would make you take it, it made you honestly ask yourself "How sick am I really..."
Jokes aside, Buckleys is to this day probably the best cough suppressant I know, syrup or cough drops.
Both my partner and I actually like the taste of Buckley's, maybe it's a nostalgia thing, the DM stuff works but it also interacts with some meds so definitely talk to a pharmacist. Extra strength fisherman's friends are my go to cough drop but salt liquorice also works for sore throats.
Semi related as a general precaution, a lot of cold/flu meds have acetaminophen in them, it's really easy to overdose that if you're not aware and are taking Tylenol or something at the same time, read the label and talk to the pharmacist.
Yeah, there's just something about the taste of Camphor Oil and Menthol that feels right when you're sick. Sure, we might be a little messed up, committing war crimes on our own respiratory tracts to win the war against the common cold, but lots of us actually seem to enjoy it.
Lemon tea and honey?
A bit of warm honey and lemon tea.
Whiskey?
Cough medicine just fucks you up enough that you don't have a cough reflex.
Whether that DXM or alcohol, it doesn't really matter.
So there might be Canadian cough medicine, but I know there's Canadian whiskey
I don't drink alcohol.
Lots of water instead.
Not Canadian but I always liked the onions and honey remedy. Soak chopped raw onions in honey overnight at room temperature. Eat onions.
What effect does this have? For how long?
It’ll stop the spread of the cold virus dead in its tracks as nobody will want to be within 100 m of you for the next few days
Very soothing effect IME, but not long lasting. It's been a while since I had a cough bad enough to bother, but I think a medium sized onion lasted less than a day. Not a cure. But it's nice while it lasts.
Robitussin is usually my go to.
Edit: I just realized what community this was in. 🤦♂️
Aloe plant, peel the green outer layer and put jelly in a blender Add lemon Add rum
Keep in fridge and about 3-4 T per day.
Doesn't have to be kept in the fridge, and surely you can do shots before bed ...
Type of cough?
