    Boil some sliced ginger in lemon juice and honey. It tastes spicy and sweet, and works. I have terrible cough every winter and early summer, and a guy from Malaysia told me this remedy. Once I went to a doctor because beynlin didn't work, and they gave me some cough medicine that made me walk around while I was asleep. Ah, also, if you buy Vic or eucalyptus oil, then put it in hot water and inhale the vapour. It helps too.
