What's scorching your groove today?

[Sundae]

Sick and tired of this cough.
It's not a real cough. Like Whooping Cough or TB.
It's caused by cattarh sitting in my throat in the aftermath of a cold.
Happened last year over Easter (although that was more severe I admit - this is more irritating)

My voice is croaky, I cough to clear my throat so much it hurts, but it is a natural reaction. Mum has been bitching about it under her breath for a week and now has started bitching about it out loud on the phone to friends and family; being half term I am here to hear it. I cough when walking, talking and doing even minor chores like changing my bed linen (although that involves rough and tumble with Diz, which almost elevates it to exercise).

I've had four different over-the-counter pills now. Including those with caffeine, which have contributed to my foul temper.

I've long worn out any sympathy I might have had at home (usually about 1% anyway) and I don't want any from work. It might put them off my cake - I was very careful not to cough anywhere near it I promise! Back tomorrow and I just want to well!

It
Gone.

Isn't there something toad-based I can try?
