It's 2 AM and I can't sleep because I have this irritating little cough from post nasal drip I assume. Other than hot tea, broth and lots of water...any ideas
on getting over this fast?????? DDD
I swear by two pillows, a shot of brandy, and two motrin. Sip the brandy. It burns and soothes at the same time. I get the cheap stuff- Christian Brothers. It's my night time miracle drug when I have a bad cold/cough.
My grandma used to make us a 'hot toddy' when we had a cough. It was hot tea, lemon, honey and a generous shot of whiskey. Pretty sure the 'magic' ingredient was the whiskey.
Suz, I'm snorting on my screen right now. I misread your reply. I thought it said 'a shot of brandy and two morons.'
On a more serious note (they don't happen too often for me), you might try taking a decongestant an hour before bed. I have bad nasal drip during the night and for the first hour or two in the morning. That seems to help.
