I have done the hot water with lemon and I am currently sucking on ice b/c it feels so good. I cannot find my list of approved meds (prematurely filed it away) but can I use any OTC throat losenges?
I did some Googling and it appears most are safe.
Sorry for having to ask this - I can usually find out this info on my own...
Re: Sore throat remedies...
My list says:
Salt water gargle, cepastat throat lozenges, chloraseptic
for Cough:
robitussin DM
Delsym
(I would also try tylenol)
Hope you feel better!
