Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Another short term fix that helped us with the really harsh coughing was Red Rose decaf tea with honey - it worked really well. Hope you figure it out soon - coughing can be so exhausting Nadine Briggs, Founder, Social Smart Kids E-Mail Address: nbriggs@... www.socialsmartkids.com " Many people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 That is so awesome! And I love his explanation. I think I will have to use that one when I run into that kind of insensitive talk. ~~~~~~ If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control. ~~~~ Luther King, Jr. On 1/23/2010 9:38 AM, Loree5@... wrote: > > I am so proud of my 14 year old ninth grader I just had to share.?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have been diagnosed with Osteomyelitis (bone infection). I was only on the maintenance dose of Iodine at 12.5 mgs.Since diagnosis 3 days have upped the dose to 75mgs a day. Last night I developed sore throat and in the cold hours a cough. Throat is a bit scratchy this morning but not coughing.Can Iodine at larger doses give a cough ?Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
