Cough Cough

I came down with a nasty cold on Feb. 6 and still today am coughing my head off! UGH! Almost a whole month with this and its driving me nuts... I'm sure it is driving my family nuts as well hearing me wake up two to three times a night coughing. I am so aggravated with it that I am searching for any home remedies and found this site.. some are interesting.. may try some that I actually know what they are. I'll let you know if any works.

Some that are on there:

• Fill one cut lemon with black pepper powder and salt and suck it to reduce the intensity of cough.
• Simple cold and cough can be cured with the regular eating of grapes for number of days. They tone up the lungs and act as expectorant.
• A combination of honey with grape juice.

If anyone knows of anything else that will I would be much appreciated.

Editing to Add.... I was told by my mom to put Vicks Vapor Rub on the bottom of my feet and put socks on... I am going to try this tonight and will let you know if it works. John is like OH GEE that should be lovely.. he hates that smell.
