Cough mixture
#11
My brother has been sick 4 weeks and has been to the doctor who gave him antibiotics and Prednisone. He coughs and coughs day and night and has to sleep in the recliner. Says he hurts all over. Now his wife has caught it. They did what the doc said, taken OTC, and holistic. Nothing seems to work. I think it was some sort of flu... Hope they get well soon...
What is the recipe for the whiskey mixture?

That's what I was thinking - definitely time to see a different dr.
Whiskey is not a good idea for coughs. Alcohol causes dehydration, and sick people don't need to add that to their list of symptoms.

My Mom put Musterole on our chests and then when it got a little better it was Vicks on our feet with socks, , Vicks on our chest and then up the nose. A cold will last either one week or seven days - That's it! But now that I can have whatever all of you are having, it's no big deal. Whoo hoo -12 years old and I get some hot booze cuz I got a cold". We had a cough medicine from the drug store (back in the 50's) that was so full of codeine, it would put you to sleep. They, eventually too it off the market. And I can't remember the name of it. Tasted cherry like, but ooh, it felt good going down. I still don't like colds!!!!! Edie

My Dh used bourbon for a hot toddy. He got upset that I sent him straight to bed. 5 minutes later he slept through the night. Didn't wake up until 630 am. First time he slept 8 hours straight. He was a totally different person in a good way.
