Hello all,
There were some questions about coughmeds.
Although still about one third of all doctors prescribe "over the counter"
or other so-called cough/cold meds, research has shown NO positive effect on
the cough itself. The same research did however find SERIOUS side-effects in
most of these "meds". Since these side-effects also include neurological
effects they are especially NOT advisable for PWP!!
The symptoms of cough can better be taken care of with a spoon (NOT that big
one, Gina!! 8<{))) ) with honey, and it tastes better too!!
Of course it is advisable to see a doctor, when the cough doesn't disappear
in a short while, to exclude other illnesses like influenza, bronchitis and
pneumonia.
Hans.
