Pred and Cough Linctus

[Nuff1]

Wondering which for OH - cough sounds vaguely chesty but I'm not sure re the linctus containing pseudoephedrine.

Currenly have "Simple Linctus" in the cupboard.

Not something I ever use - IMHO they only benefit the pocket of the manufacturer and the pharmacy selling it ...

Son-in-law (a GP) has similar views but I'm not looking for a cure, just summat to make it easier for him (and on my ears!)

I feel for you. Sometimes a towl over the head and hot water inhalation helps xx

I don't even think they ease symptoms! I know where you are coming from - my husband has had a chronic cough since he had chemo/surgery/radiotherapy for cancer 26 years ago. It is always bad and when he gets a cold is hell on earth if it gets to his chest - if anyone ever finds a solution please tell me!!!!

PS - earplugs??? For you...

Menthol crystal steam inhalation improves my blocked sinuses for a while & is comforting. No effect on my dry cough though.
