I had some coughing in January this year, after going though flu. Eating tablets is something I try to avoid if possible, so I decided to try Manuka Honey syrups (ordered a bottle with Mullein and a bottle of propolis herbal elixir). In about two weeks time after finishing both bottles I had no signs of dry cough. These syrups are quite tasty once I got used to them. Your sore throat will immediately feel a great relief once you take a teaspoonful of this syrup. I'll make sure I have a couple of these liquids for the next winter season.
