I've heard that honey with fresh-squeezed lemon juice is supposed to help, but I haven't tried it myself.

Be sure to post if you find something. DJ had a really bad cough a few weeks ago--to the point that he was having trouble sleeping--and since you're not supposed to give toddlers anything, we were kinda just up the creek for a while.

I gave him some straight honey, but I'm not sure if it helped or if by the time we tried it, the cough was already going away. He liked it though. (-:

My doctor said once that all over-the-counter cough medicines are pretty much sugar water except for Delsym. And it was only slightly better than sugar water. I know that's not a "home" remedy, but it's all I's gots!

Yeah, I've tried Tussin DM and it's worthless for me. Historically (since I was 4 years old), the only cough syrup that's done anything has been Phenergan with Codeine. Hard to take codeine during the day and be any sort of worthwhile parent, though!
