What is good for a cough besides going to the doctor and getting a prescription??

Answers: This may sound gross, but onion syrup. Onions are anti-viral and will kill the cold virus making you cough to begin with. And bonus, it soothes the throat & stop the cough as well. EASY to make, small batch, 1-2 onions WITH skin (the brown stuff on the outside) sliced and place in sauce pan. Honey to cover. Simmer over low heat for about an hour. Strain, cool, bottle and use. Good Luck!!
