I posted on Saturday that our Granddaughter was not well, she was coughing a lot. She is still not tip top but getting better……whereas The Mister and I both have coughs now. Nothing he can do as he is at work but I have been taking cough syrup all day ….not much is happening so far ! Typical !

I've heard that lemon and honey help calm a cough. If you're in that kind of mood, you can also add some whiskey and make a hot toddy. That also helps with coughs and sore throats.

@DaddyEvil for me only …..she has gone home now but just heard she has been away from school today so still poorly. She will have children’s Calpol. I’m not in the habit of giving a 9 year old whisky, although when I was teething at a few months old whisky was rubbed on my gums , and apparently helped !

Uh-oh. I’m sorry you two seem to have caught it. That’s very unpleasant.

I'm sorry about the coughs. Sometimes they can hang on for a long time.
