cough remedies

The past couple of nights.... well more like a week . My house has had the flu, followed by a cold and cough..... It has not been very lively around here, We have watched more TV to the point that kids are begging to shut it off.....I have two couches that have been occupied by children, with one on a mattress on the floor ......Now I am not complaining at all, I am glad that I have them home... I just thought that I would give you a visual of what my house looks like.

Now we are done with the flu over here,but the cough still remains.
So I went on line and looked up cough remedies and found many ideas.
There are so many different things out there to try.... but will it work.

I have tried DM cough syrup, and it doesn't help much.
So today I am going to get some friendly neighbor honey and mix it with some lemon juice, this is one of the ideas from this site.

As far as a cure for the common cure... there are a lot of different ideas out there.
If you have any ideas on how to help a runny nose.....please feel free to share.
