Tickly Cough Driving Me NUTS!

Anyone got any remedies to help stop a tickly cough. I have been coughing incessantly all day until I am nearly sick - its driving me mad and its exhausting. Cough medicine doesn't seem to do the trick and neither do cough sweets.

p.s I absolutely loathe honey so any suggestions without honey would be appreciated!

Thanks

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL] :)
