Honey is GREAT. What a dufus, that i did not think to suggest that! I'm glad you thought of it... it is like the number 1 thing. Also have lots and lots of water. Not like a quart at a time but keep a bottle near you, and drink frequently. You seem to do a good job in general about keeping hydrated so i probably shouldn't even fuss. if the cough is mostly dry something soothing like honey is probably the best bet. besides, it is not a suppressant and if there is anything which needs to loosen and come up, it will help with that. good call.

If you can, get raw, unfiltered, honey. Then it has antibacterial and antiviral properties as well.

I'm sorry your mdoc is useless. that sucks.

Runny nose is good since you have been sick - you are purging. if you were stuffed up, that would not be good.
