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.
