Anyone got any good remedies or tips to help even just ease the soreness and constant coughing, had it for a week now ( think its a throat infection anyway) and its becoming unbearable  Tried all the usual cold & flu tablets, losengers etc already and nothing seems to be helping.  |

I used to suffer with tonsillitis alot and gargling with disovable asprin helps if you can manage it. check if suitable incase you are taking other pain relief, if not a trip to the doctors as you may need antibiotics if it is tonsillitis. Hope you feel better soon

Gargling with salt water is really good but I have trouble gargling, I tend to gag whilst doing it.
If you've had it this long then I'd say a course of antibiotics is required. Hope you're feeling better soon as it is horrible |

For myself, whenever I have a dry irritating cough, I would take Pholcodine Linctus, the original version with sugar and ethanol.
I always have a couple of bottles to hand.
I found the sugar free version thinner in texture and not as soothing.

Hey morning how's the cough ? I had this last week just took cough mixture for a tickle throat and lots of paracetamol, it lasted about 3 days , coughs gone now but the throats still sore.
Get down your doctors if its not going, hope you get better soon |
