cough

Since we can't have cough drops on induction, what other alternatives do we have?

If you have a mucousy cough, take Mucinex. You will be amazed how much it helps. Don't even balk at the price, it is worth it.

You are allowed unlimited herbal teas. Peppermint is great when you have a cough.

How much of your cough is chest, and how much is from your sinuses like post nasal drip? If the sinuses are involved, you might consider learning how to use a Neti Pot. It sounds crazy, but helps a lot, basically you rinse your sinueses out with warm salt water.

I got mine at CVS. I plan on rinsing all winter, at least every other day. I was getting a cold over a week ago and it cut it right short.


Hope you feel better, oh, and gargling with warm salt water works wonders for a sore throat.
