Peg Kerr's Journal

If you're looking for a non-medicated cough syrup to knock the cough out, may I recommend Buckley's? It's Canadian but you can probably find some around. It looks thoroughly nasty and tastes thoroughly nasty but when your cough gets into the evil stage of just irritating your lungs and not actually coughing up gunk, it can be quite handy. You shouldn't get drowsy off of it. Your lungs and throat will feel like you just ate an entire pine tree, but it will soothe the irritated membranes to a degree that may allow you to get used to not coughing.
