Are you pregnant? Not much you can take if you are unfortunately. How about hot water with honey if you have a tickly throat? Otherwise just resting, eating and drinking well etc to help you shake it off.

I’ve been given a mixture of glycerin, honey and lemon by our pharmacist to have whilst I was pregnant and I still take it during breastfeeding. Try it if you like; it helps a bit x

Thyme tea. Got suggested by my gynecologist. And hot tea with ginger, lemon and honey.

Hot lemon and honey with fresh ginger soaked in it is good for soothing irritating tickles
