Urgh

Ended up staying back at my flat today and working out of it. Had a nasty, hacking cough all night.

Thankfully, Rite Aid carries that vile-tasting wonder syrup, Buckley's, so I should be okay fairly soon.

I still think Buckley's works on the aversion theory. Your body would rather get rid of the cough than have another dose.

I hope you feel better very soon!

Btw, it's the horehound in the Buckley's that tastes so nasty and yet does wonders as an expectorant.

(hope you had a wonderful weekend with you little one!)

I had bronchitus a lot as a t'ween and teen - and I vividly recall my mother shoving huge spoonfulls of vile cough syrup with codeine into me in the middle of the night, before I was awake enough to put up a fight. Apparently I would hack and cough enough to keep the rest of the house from sleeping, while sleeping through it myself.

Promethazine with Codeine, IIRC. Stuff works like a charm, but it's bright yellow and honestly the most vile medicine I've ever had with an aftertaste that makes you wanna go gargle with windex to get the taste outta yer mouth.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

For a cough suppressant, I like Delsym. It's not the best tasting, but it's also not horribly disgusting. And it works wonders for stopping a cough so you can sleep. I had a Physician's Assistant recommend it to me a couple years ago when I refused a cough syrup with Codeine in it (it was just before LosCon, I wanted to be able to have fun!).
