Honey is good 4 a sore throat. Watkins, Menthol Camphor ointment is a good cough suppressant. You just rub it on the outside of you, above the chest area. You know, over the throat, lungs etc. If you don't have any in house, perhaps you can order it on the Internet? It's soothing and cooling and actually works, great. Good luck.
