Yes I believe it's the phlegm causing the tickle. Deep breaths make the tickle worse so I find myself taking shallow breaths. I will use steam more...excuse for a nice, long, hot shower.
I will give that medicine a try. I actually might have some (different name-same ingredients).
Yes, think I need the anti-inflammatory pain killers right now...will help with the rib pain! I threw something out with my last coughing fit.
Honey actually made me cough more yesterday...when taken straight anyways. In a tea it seemed to be okay.
Doctor said my throat was looking "thin" and irritated from the coughing. Just hurts.
