Tickly Throat/Cough

Well my dad has somehow given me his cough :impissed: , but it's more of a irritating sore/tickly feeling rather than a full blown cough.
I really do despise cough/throat medicine so i wondered if there are any house hold things i can try to ease it abit?
I've heard boiled lemonade helps

Why don't you go for some lovely jubbly flavoured lempsip drink sachets - I have blackcurrant ones and they're ace.
I don't really know of any household ones, but there are a number of medice like alternatives i.e. lemsip sachets, strepsil blackcurrant tabs, soothers.
You may just need to bite the bullet. No one really likes taking their medicine but they work - the yukkier the more affective, I'm sure of it :thumb:
i'll probably invest in some sucky tablets too
:yes:
i always find a spoon or two of honey in a cup of tea nicer than actually just gobbling a spoon of honey, but it all works.
I thought it was honey + lemon juice + hot water? (or something like that)
