I have a cold, I have a very annoying cold with bad coughing fits.
As I am involved in a clinical reserach study of a new drug, I am unable to take anything that isn't natural to ease my coughing fits.

I have been drinking honey and lemon in hot water, but I can't use this at night or my sleep will get cut short by my bladder.

Anyone have any suggestions for natural cough remedies?

I actually would kill for a chair

I prefer sleeping in a recliner to lying flat.
I may end up piling more pillows on the bed to compensate.

Normally I'd be downing two fingers of peppermint schnapps before bed for cough suppression.
This is day three of this cold and I start the new drugs tomorrow.
Hopefully it's typical of a cold for me and will be gone in another 3 days.



No tea in the evening, major diuretic

I'm supposed to get as much sleep as I can, but if I have to get up to go potty, I'm awake for at least two hours

Ugh
The only OTC cough suppressants I know of that don't have alcohol are the children's formulae.
I think I'll call the study doctor tomorrow and see if I can get approval for children's Dimetap.

Jada is just checking on you, making sure you're comfortable

Amber said to tell you the childrens kind works really well if they let you take it. She used it before when she was stuck at work and got sick.

Haha more like she saw her mama gettign attention from me and wanted in on the attention.
