Agreed on the Fishermans, but it's usually my go to when I've got a lot of talking to do (I'm a teacher and during some classes I've got to talk a LOT) so they can be a life saver. As for the honey and lemon, I find that for me it works better when I drink it pretty straight up and warm.

@morganmommy79, ill try the vicks thing tonight, it can't hurt! @squirrelgiggles83 i was mixing it with water like a tea, I'll try it without. my grandmother also got me the fishermans, they are really nasty but only work for 20 mins tops...

A little honey and lemon warmed up - like half a shot glass at most - really helped me. I used that and these cough drops called Fisherman's Friend - they are nasty (unless you like the taste of black licorice and eucalyptus) but they work really well.

I have never tried it but I hear pineapple juice works better than cough syrup. Also, rubbing Vicks on your feet at night and wearing socks is supposed to suppress coughing.

No I haven't...its the raw kind you have to use, right? @beebaby Ive been debating on it cause im testing my sugar daily and don't want to purposely consume more sugar than needed.
