Glad you all slept better, I was going to suggest the honey, I saw something on tv that claimed it had many benefits, especially soothing and coating the throat. I would also try the humidifier with vicks. My mom would rub vicks on our chest and throat and that knocked me out.
I worry about using mucinex & cough suppresants... because coughing does help the junk break up and by coughing you get rid of it. In April of last year, I started to get sick, so I took a few over the counter antihistamines & cough suppresant medicine and ended up with all that mucous mess stuck in my chest, the doc said I had bronchitis with possible pneumonia, uuughhh. Ever since then I am more cautious of what I take. Just bringing it up in case it may help someone else. Good luck and hope you are all healthy soon!
