What's a quick substitute for cough drops?

[Deja Q]

I want to feel better by Monday but don't want to go out to buy cough drops.

:pout:

1. Tablespoon of honey in a shot of whiskey.

Mix well, drink slowly. :hug: Feel better soon.

[Redstone]

4. Or drink the shot, and follow it with the honey. Either way, it works.

Redstone.

[Gormy Cuss]

20. Your way is better.

Doesn't waste good whiskey.;)

[kedrys]

2. I was gonna say whiskey

Never thought to mix honey with it, but that actually sounds like a great idea.

Hope you feel better soon! :hi:

3. a sweet liqueur

sherry or triple sec or something like that

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. Usually mints?

Skip uses them. Do you have any peppermints or altoids? Any hard candy at all? How far away is the pharmacy?

[Deja Q]

6. Nope, no hard candy.

No medications or confectionery either. :(

Only an urge to buy Dreamweaver 8... mustn't do that. :D

[YellowRubberDuckie]

10. How far is the pharmacy from your place?

And is there a place in between where you can get some tea or whiskey or something?

14. 2 miles, but I do have tea...

Silly time to remember it...

maybe that'll help the eczema too. :)

7. B&B.

Seriously.

[deucemagnet]

12. Yum! I agree wholeheartedly!

There's nothing like a snifter of B&B on a cold winter night! :9

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Chamomile tea with honey

and if you have a mint tea, like peppermint or spearmint, add that, too

Inhale the steam and sip.
Opens up the lungs, soothes the throat and helps you rest.

9. all the above are good

but, if nothing else try a spoonful of sugar,,,just let it slowly melt

:hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. Don't forget to gargle with warm salt water

One of the best things you can do for yourself :hug:

[Left Is Write]

13. A nice tawny port.

[Generic Brad]

15. Water

Lots and lots of water. Flush out your system. And get extra rest if your cough allows.

16. Chiles.

:evilgrin:

[grannylib]

17. Honey and gargling with warm salt water are the two remedies I find to work

best for me.
Hope you feel better soon!
:hug:

[wildhorses]

18. some grand marinier would be nice

i bet it would help and boy is that stuff YUMMY:9

[AwakeAtLast]

19. Hot tea and honey

Lemon added helps, too.

Hope you get better soon! :hi:

[LostInAnomie]

21. PCP

Works like a charm.

[mykpart]

22. Hot, very sweet lemonade with a shot of bourbon.

This may be a hot toddy. Anyway, it works. Also, if you have lemons, just cut one in half, sprinkle either salt or sugar, depending on your taste preference, and lick/suck the lemon till you have gotten all the juice.

23. nobody said cherry brandy?

Somebody told me that's what cough syrup is.
