Will definately try the Vick one next time I have a cough. Sounds really silly, but worth a try!

there was a thread running a few days ago that was endorsed by lots and lots of people and that was rubbing Vick on the soles of your feet - sounds daft but apparently it really works and loads of people swore by it. Let's face it you've got nothing to lose by trying it and everything to gain. Also I find personally that sucking a toffee is quite soothing
