Can someone tell me what cough syrup Parkinson’s patients can take? Every Robitussin syrup warned against use by people with Parkinson’s…. I was just at the store and couldn’t find anything my husband could take….🤷‍♀️

We always make hot lemon and honey "tea": organic lemons, sliced up with the rinds and simmered in a pan of water, then add raw honey (to taste). Also, running a warm-mist humidifier and rubbing some menthol/eucalyptus ointment under the nostrils actually works better for me than any cough medicine I've ever tried.

Mix 8 oz. of LOCAL honey with 1 TBL apple cider vinegar. If you have Young Living Essential oils, add 10 drops of lemon oil and 5 drops of orange oil. If you don't have the oils, add some lemon juice (about 1 Tablespoon)

"Fisherman's Friend " lozenges , opens nasal passages and stops that tickle in the throat. I keep some everywhere I spend time , bedroom, garage, car etc and in every coat pocket.

I was waiting in line to get my booster shot and a women in front started coughing, people started moving away from her and she was distressed. So I asked her if she wanted one, she stopped coughing immediately after she started to chew it. Big smile.

Menthol, no sugar , fruit juice flavor, take as many as you want.

Imported to Canada from manufacturer Fleetwood Ltd, Lancashire, England

Not syrup but pastilles. Riccola, sugar free elderflower. Magic. I used them during covid. 3 o 4 a day max as they have xylitol...but really really calming.
