But guess what? I can't find it anymore. Not even in generic! and it's the best!! I need it!! It even helps me sleep. I don't think it's suppose to, but it does.<br />or maybe it just makes me feel better enough to sleep. <br />Anyway...did you hear me say I can't find it anymore?

I ...OTC cough syrups usually don't work for me. I was sick a coupla weeks ago, and came across some great home remedies. I used them, and they worked great! Here's what you do:<br /><br />Grate some ginger root. Squeeze it in a strainer, extracting 1/2 teaspoon of ginger juice. Mix with one spoonful of honey. This tastes pretty good, and it has a little kick to it! Check it out on YouTube, because I can't remember how often it can be taken. I just took it before going to bed for the evening. After taking your medicine, rub some Vick's VapoRub on the soles of your feet. Cover your feet with warm socks. Go to bed! I did this and slept through the night!<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon...Beth E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04996230415386423039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836752777733389880.post-80123615589373083842010-01-19T07:57:30.584-05:002010-01-19T07:57:30.584-05:00I have to say, for me, Robitussin is the most vile...I have to say, for me, Robitussin is the most vile medicine. I hem and haw if I have to take it. I stand there and look at it, like it will magicially start to taste better if I wait for it. When I finally do gulp it down, I stamp my feet, hang my head over the sink (incase it comes back up), and I really do think I stop breathing for a few seconds.<br /><br />If you are marketing yummy meds...I am for it. Can mine taste like red velvet cake?Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836752777733389880.post-10149110355825729942010-01-19T07:17:54.269-05:002010-01-19T07:17:54.269-05:00I haven't bought cough syrup in years.

Actually we try not to let it get to the coughing stage by kicking it as soon as we see it coming on. But that's not helping you right now is it? LOL! <br />Love you my friend and I do hope you get better! <br />Hugs<br />KimKim @ Homesteader's Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787975654863452911noreply@blogger.com
