For the first time ever in our family we went down with a bad cough. We have had colds before, even 'flu symptoms, but no-one has ever had a cough like this. A trip to the Doctors and antibiotics didn't get rid of it, so we helped it along with as many natural remedies as we could find. Steaming Olbas oils, vapour rubs, diffusing oils in the lounge and through the night, eating insane amounts of vitamin C, fruit and veggies. It eventually went after two-three months! We spent a lot of time resting, playing card & board games and huddled up in doors. The nights were the worse, as the coughing was so bad, they often were sick. The doctors took throat swabs and blood tests, which came back negative for whopping cough, although all the symptoms were identical.
Thankfully we are all well again.
