[21twelve]

I take a pill for low thyroid - I hear that can cause a cough sometimes. (Can’t recall now if it is the pill, or the low thyroid!) I’ll cough once, and sometimes it turns into 15 minutes of uncontrolled coughing. A dose of Delsym and 3 or 4 cough drops later the cough is gone - but my throat is sore for the next day.

Recipe for cough...(from Grandmother)

Take one quart screw top glass container

fill with sliced onion (brown, red or white...whatever is available)

Put 4 or 5 table spoons of brown sugar in the top

close lid and let stand for 2 or 3 hours

take a table spoon of the brown liquid for cough

generates enough cough liquid for a day....add more brown sugar next day....depending on the quality of the onions will last for up to 3 days.
