Steam inhalation: Bowl of hot (not boiling !) water on the table, sit down, head bent over it, towel over the head, and breathe ... May take 10-15 mi for best effect.

Cheap and effective.

You can add oils such as eucalyptus to the water, but it's not really necessary, it's the steam that does the work.

No, that product is a waste of time and money. All chesty cough medicines are a waste of time and money, only having a placebo effect, but pulmo bailly does not make sense. Chesty cough medicines contain expectorants, which supposedly help break up and liquefy what's on your chest so you can bring it up. If you have a dry, tickly cough then you want a cough suppressant such as pholcodeine or codeine. Pulmo bailly contains an expectorant and a cough suppressant - a combination which makes no sense at all.

If it's not bad enough to see your GP again, then talk to your local pharmacist: they do now ask what kind of cough it is!

I always think resting up is a good idea :) seriously though just giving your body a chance to recover does help a bit...
