I heard on the radio that a spoonful of honey has been shown to be just as effective as actual cough syrup. And it's cheaper and presumably easier on the liver, so I'm using it. (You'd be amazed how much you don't want to eat a spoonful of honey when it's medication.)
Does Theraflu work for you in fighting flu/cold symptoms? It's the only thing I've ever found that will significantly reduce a cough. (Well, besides NyQuil, but I prefer to be conscious while not coughing...)
I've never tried Theraflu; I'll put it on the list. I was telling someone above that I heard about a study that showed that a spoonful of honey is just as effective as cough syrup, so that's what I've been using. Not terribly effective -- but then, the same is usually true of cough syrup, so.
