Anyone got any good remedies or tips to help even just ease the soreness and constant coughing, had it for a week now ( think its a throat infection anyway) and its becoming unbearable Tried all the usual cold & flu tablets, losengers etc already and nothing seems to be helping.

Try a salt water gargle. Echinacia in long term.

I used to suffer with tonsillitis alot and gargling with disovable asprin helps if you can manage it. check if suitable incase you are taking other pain relief, if not a trip to the doctors as you may need antibiotics if it is tonsillitis. Hope you feel better soon

If you've had it a week and its not getting better, see your GP. It is probably a self-limiting disease but best to get a second opinion.

Gargling with salt water is really good but I have trouble gargling, I tend to gag whilst doing it.

If you've had it this long then I'd say a course of antibiotics is required. Hope you're feeling better soon as it is horrible

For myself, whenever I have a dry irritating cough, I would take Pholcodine Linctus, the original version with sugar and ethanol.

I always have a couple of bottles to hand.

I found the sugar free version thinner in texture and not as soothing.

Aspirin still has its uses, in the form of Aspirin gargle using soluble Aspirin.

Hey morning how's the cough ? I had this last week just took cough mixture for a tickle throat and lots of paracetamol, it lasted about 3 days , coughs gone now but the throats still sore.

Get down your doctors if its not going, hope you get better soon

A centimetre of root ginger sliced and pour boiling water over. Drink while still hot. Works wonders on a tickly cough.

You can add a slice of lemon (or orange) and some honey.
