I usually make it a hot toddy. Well, in the afternoon/evening. Guess  hot toddy is a bad idea for the morning...

Honey w/ cinnamon is supposed to be good. 

I can't even remember the last time I took regular cough syrup b/c I've been pregnant or nursing for much of the last 6.5 years.

Lol. You guys sound like hippies, or olds..."just have some tea! Here's a hard candy from my pocketbook"

My h likes robetussin.

Robitussin with expectorant is great.

DH uses and recommends Delsym. It is used for kids with CF, so it is good for phlegmy coughs.

[vlagrl]

Delsym is the best by far

Perfect. Your h is a dr right? I'm coughing up green phlegm so I should probably just go to the dr

Tea steeped in fresh ginger slice and fresh lemon. Add honey.

Well, the thing is you are coughing to get the gunk up - the green phlegm. So, while it's unpleasant, it's kind of necessary. I don't think you need to go to the doctor.

Tea w/ lemon & honey is pretty standard for a cough & cold. Not that you shouldn't take real drugs but in addition to.

[quesyrah]

I know it's necessary to get it to. But I need a little relief here. I haven't slept in days.

He is an ob/gyn. I think he started using Delsym after a peds rotation and he learned about it being used for CF. If you're coughing up green phlegm it might be time to go to the dr. :/ Hope you feel better.

Yeah Mr. QueSyrah who went to the google school of medicine just told me the same thing.
