Potter's Catarrh Pastilles 45g

Llloyds chemist stock them

Re: Tickley Cough
 

I always use covonia or Hills balsam, both a bit savage on the throat, but both work wonders.

The way this was going I thought it may end up in the over 18s, but maybe not:D Let me see tickley cough, half a bottle of scotch, some sugar, a lemon and a flask of hot water, does it for me, oh and by the way you sleep well of it too:D:rolleyes:

lol i hate whisky

Re: Tickley Cough
 

A tickly cough .... buttercup syrup in the morning and at night before you go to bed. During the day barnips sweets and if you cant get them there is another one called Koff Kops (get them in accy on the sweet stall).

Re: Tickley Cough
 

ooo cheers for that Jen, i'll have a look tomoz when i go into Accy

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Another one is the hot toddy without the whisky ... 1/2 fresh lemon sliced, 1 teaspoon of honey and a pint of boiling water. I got told off by the doc for having a 2 mouthfuls of a traditional hot toddy - she told me to just make it without the whisky and keep drinking it during the day ...

Re: Tickley Cough
 

that sounds better, it will coat your throat too without any sorta medication being in it

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Brandy or Rum have just the same effect:rolleyes:

Re: Tickley Cough
 

i have amaretto, will that do? :D

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Whatever floats your boat flashy:D

Re: Tickley Cough
 

so what your basically saying is that i need to be swallowing something thick so it coats my throat?

Re: Tickley Cough
 

salts good as well.....probably best if you gargle and spit tho.

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Lubrication required.. to sooth the throat! :D

Re: Tickley Cough
 

hmmmmmmmm ;)

Re: Tickley Cough
 

my mum always taught me that its bad manners to spit

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Your ma should have taught you it is bad manners to slate the mods haha!:hesoff: :eek:

Re: Tickley Cough
 

I had a bad chest a few week ago and used Beechams Veno's Expectorant. That was for chesty coughs though, but i noticed when buying it they did one for tickley coughs as well. Tastes awful but it really worked!

Re: Tickley Cough
 

salt crisps and lots of lemonade ( works for me )

Re: Tickley Cough
 

A Canadian University did studies on coughs and the effectivness of cough medicine....they found that the best remedy for a tickly cough was to put a thick coating of Vicks Vapour Rub on the soles of the feet, and then put a pair of socks on to keep it in place.......this was found to stop tickly coughs better than any cough mixture or medicine.
This really works.........I am not sure of how, but it does.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Well I suppose you forget about the cough because your too busy sorting your slimey feet out lol..:eek::D

Seriously though I just love hearing some of the wierd remedies :)

Re: Tickley Cough

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Mi oud Grannie used to mix Rum Butter and Treacle together in a cup, a teaspoon at bed time seemed to stop the coughing

Re: Tickley Cough
 

I remember when people used to put a red hot poker into a Thwaites Big Ben or that other well known strong ale Old Dan.:thepint::thepint:Cured the lot.:alright:

Re: Tickley Cough
 

Na Beni it just made you forget about it for a while:D a long while;)

Re: Tickley Cough
 

The best remedy for tickly coughs is without a doubt...... Laxatives, and lots of them..

You'll be way too scared to cough...:D
