Cold Season Cough Remedy (Better Than Steroids)

[splat]

A remarkable new study looking at natural alternatives to medications found that compared to a systemic steroid, a combination of honey and coffee was superior in reducing symptoms associated with a post-infectious cough (PPC).

PPC is a cough that remains after a common cold or an upper respiratory tract infection for more than three weeks, and in some cases as long as several months. Conventional treatment may involve any number of powerful drugs, many of which have serious side effects, including codeine and dextromethorphan (so-called centrally acting antitussives), antihistamines, narcotics, and bronchodilators.

I was shopping around for a homespun remedy after an dr. wrote me a script for prednisone for a wicked cough. I didn't want to take it so I was looking around for a more common folk remedy cure. Maybe you all-knowing nerdtastic brainiacs have something better than doesn't involve pharmaceuticals? Though I always did like codeine...

I disagree that homeopathic treatments are all bullshit, as you infer. People have been treating infections and illnesses with homeopathic cures for eons, as opposed to the hundred or so years of pharmaceutical cures. Are you so arrogant as to say none of those homeopathic treatments do jack shit? Really, I want to hear it.
