Answers:
Ricola Honey Herb cough drops and a cayenne pepper gargle will fix you up.
For the cayenne gargle (it only hurts for a min, then relief) 1/8 - 1/4 tsp of cayenne in a small glass of warm water. Gargle for at least 20 seconds.
The herbs in the Ricola are what any herbalist would tell you to take for something like bronchitis. I took them for the flavor, but when my son was up all night coughing, I was only awakened by his coughing. I finally realized it was the Ricola. I told him to eat at least half a bag one day - he ate almost the whole thing, but that night he didn't cough once! I didn't think a commercial product like that would have enough active ingredient to work, but it does!

For swallow and pain, did you ever try Honey & Lemon.? There is a medicine for phlegm: Mucinex. Helps loosen phlegm. You can buy this in any pharmacy.Health Question & Answer
