Hi,

I'm at my wits end with this annoying dry tickly cough. Its the end of a little cold and it is really starting to irritate me. I've lost sleep with it for the last 2 nights and its about to happen again tonight I think because I haven't stopped coughing all day. Which is the last thing I need with a 5 week old and an active toddler.

I am BF'ing my 5 week old - so alot of the usual cough medicines are out. But is there anything I could get from the chemist - that would actually work too, as i don't particuarly want to waste money either. Or is there anything natural I could make up - is honey something that'll work. If so what can I do with it?

The cough is worse when I lay down, but is still around throughout the day and standing. It just seems to mainly be tickle the top of my throat (like little hairs). And because of all the coughing I'm now getting a sore chest (and an annoyed DH ) and a sore throat (like it is getting raw).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
