Release me from this shackles called hacking cough! I was again woken up by a bout of painful cough in the middle of the night last night, and I am truly fed up with this persistent remnant of the cold I caught over the last NYE. One of my fellow bloggers called this particular cold as “three weeks cold”, and I was hoping it would not take that long to get out of my system. However, I am still bothered by the cough, despite the end of the three weeks is only a few days away…
While I was shopping for groceries at my local supermarket, I came across this…
I was on various cough remedies recently and sick of taking them because all of them so far made me feel either drowsy, parched and constipated. I wasn’t sure if the pastilles had any clout to silence my cough, but I decided to give a shot.
So, how did it go? My verdict: It didn’t work for me. I sucked one during my cough attack last night, but it didn’t stop or ease my coughing. It was a shame because they tasted rather moreish. They tasted like spiced jam with wine gum like texture. Oh well, I will have to go back to a conventional cough remedy tonight so I won’t disturb Hubbie and Bella.
You see, I am frustrated because I have a few things lined up for me to try this year.
One of them is attending a street dancing class. Hubbie bought me sneakers as Christmas presents so I could embark on my new fitness regime in style. Originally, I booked a taster class at City Academy for 5th January. However, I was too ill to attend and had to ask them to change it to 18th. Then, I am still not well enough so it has been rescheduled for 6th February.
And this sweatshirt. I have been meaning to take it to my friend Heza so he can do his amazing (& stylish) customisation on it.
Please please please, I am feeling like this inside…
But my body is letting me down!
Well, at least they tasted nice. Some alternative therapies taste absolutely disgusting! Hope you get back to top form soon.
Yes, they tasted miles better than Strepsils! However, I feel cheated because it doesn’t do what it’s said on the tin.
I will do anything to get better (except anything illegal). I’m so sick of being sick…😭😭😭
Yes, I’ve never liked the taste of Strepsils. Mind you Fisherman’s Friends take your head off!!
Fisherman’s Friends, I haven’t tried for cough yet! Do you think they will work for me? They are really really minty, aren’t they?🤔
They are a kind of spicy minty taste. I’m not sure if they will do much for a cough, but they do tend to stimulate your salvia production. I guess it depends if your cough is in your throat or coming from further down from your lungs. Hope it improves soon.
Thank you, Agnes. My cough is no longer so called productive one. It feels like my chest is tight and it urges me to cough. Very annoying but I don’t think GP can’t help me because I’m not ill enough.😭
Try Jakemans boiled sweets in the black… They are pretty good for lingering coughs…Good luck and you’ll be at the dance class soon I’m sure.. 😷
Yup, Wendy! I’ve just order a bag of Jakemans via Amazon. I can’t wait to try them on Monday. Thank you for letting me know about it. I am so ready to get rid of this annoying cough and start dancing 🤣
Hope they help! I’m confident you’ll be dancing very soon 😁
I’ll let you know how I get on with them👍🏻😛
I really hope they help!!! Xxx
Thank you, Wendy! XXX
You’re very welcome xxx
