You know I have a Nyquil hang up.....but its just because it makes me sleepy. The thing with any cough related medicine is the worse it tastes....the better it works. AND....don't wait until it quits working to take it again!!! The reason your throat hurts is usually drainage from your sinuses. It takes antihistamines a long time to work and if you stay on schedule with the meds it should keep everything at bay.
Unless....you have strep....that is a virus (I think) and has to be treated by antibiotics. My middle child is the strep victim around here. She gets it about three times a year. Nobody else in the house gets it EVER!!!
Get you some HOT HOT HOT liquid. Maybe some type of tea with lots of lemon. Sip on it and it will help.0 -

Tea and Lemon?
Wow. Am I turning into a girl or what! Might as well go grab the skittle and warm me up milk! [:D][:D][:D][:D] KIDDING KIDDING. Its all in fun.
Well, ill be right back, gonna see what i can scrounge up in medicine cabinet, wake mom up and see if im allowed to take it.0 -
Hot is always good for a sore throat...plus it works on the sinus thing too. I used to get hot tea with lemon and just breathe in the steam coming off of the cup. You can put honey in it if you like. They make medicine called Thera-flu that works pretty good. Tastes bitter....but it is a hot drink and when you are sick even a nasty tasting hot drink feels pretty good.
Hope you feel better.0 -
I got a horrible cough and almost spitted up my lungs last time i were in P.I (Philippines)
My lungs are not really used to electric fans and ac... But then someone adviced me to slice a small piece of ginger and just chew on it slightly and even leave it under the lip over the night (like snuff kind of)and it worked out just fine.0 -
I used to get strep 2-3 times a year as a child. LocustFork has hit all of my remedies on the head. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats a nice cup of hot lemon tea. 0 -
Locust is on the money. Do as she says.

Take a pint of whiskey, any brand will do, rot-gut probably works better. Then go find some old-fashioned horehound hard candies. Drop about 10 pieces of candy in the whiskey bottle and let it dissolve. Usually takes about a day or two. Take a big swig or two as needed. Best cough medicine in the world! Honest! 0 -
Can you say CODINE??
Major cough suppressant.0 -

Im 'fraid dad would kill me for ruining a perfectly good bottle of whiskey [:D][:D][:D][:D]
ill go try some of this stuff, see what happens.0 -
1.5 oz. whiskey
1 squeeze of lemon juice
1 tbl spoon honey
1 pinch of ginger
1 tea bag (not regular - green tea is better for this)
fill up with hot water and steep the tea.
I have added a mentholated cough drop before but tastes kinda rough.0 -

That's why I mentioned using rot-gut whiskey. The cheapest you can buy. Works wonders!0
