@ehBeth,
Hard luck, buddy.
Hot lemon and honey (quite soothing)
Plain Robitussin (non-suppressant, expectorant only)
Lots of fluids (water's the best, but not straight from the swamp)
Knew a guy that got in a hot tub, took a dozen or so Dristan tablets and a fifth of Old Grand-Dad. Too much suppressant. He didn't expectorate, nor survive; all that remained, a giant red pickle.
Forget the pickle (ice cream is OK, in moderation, as with most things)
Be happy (without moderation)
