I don't know why, but honey & some kind of alcohol seems familiar...

HAHA! Of course you couldn't give that to a child! :)

I am curious to hear what others have to say because my son also has a

cold. It seems that the fever he had a couple weeks ago was the

precursor to the common cold. He's still sniffling and has a loose, wet

cough and clear, runny nose. The couch sometimes wakes him in the

night.

Hope your little guy is on the mend soon.

Hey, Mend(?) recommends the natural cocktail! Or wine, whatever. We put a

shot of whiskey,lemon juice, and honey(obviously not for under 1 yr. old)

and have them take a sip or 2. They like it as we put it in the special

shot glass. It's diluted and works for us! And as babies, have even gave

sip of beer for restlessness due to earache...the rest was mine! I read a

sip is equal to a beer for us and don't want child drunk or under influence

except to relax. this was before DH and he had wine tastes...I like the

beer! This is one parent's confession and not medical advice! LOL Of

course you know to ask a homeopath?...

Yes, he gave Trenton belladonna a while back, and everything cleared up

except this nightly cough. I think he is teething, as he has a runny nose

too, and I think when he lie's down the mucus runs down the back of his mouth

and makes him cough.

I have heard that it is honey and lemon juice. I think this is how the

recipe goes, I could be way off. I got it from a friend. LOL Boil one

lemon until it gets big and squishy. She would put that in a bottle like

one of those honey bear containers and squeeze it all out, the lemon that

is. Then she would add 1-2 tsp or maybe tbs. of glycern then fill the rest

of it with honey. Now I felt funny aobut the glycerin but her parents have

always used this recipe, and she used it on her own daughter. I just can't

remember exactly if it was tsp or tbs. I have never made it but I watched

her do it once. Anyway, I think that if you just used honey and lemon juice

that it would be fine.

Yep, honey and lemon and glycerin......if you have no glycerin, try using an

egg white. I know that sounds kind of gross, but works excellent on a

nagging hacky cough--quiets the hack.......goes down kind of slimey, but if

you take several spoonfuls of it it works. We used this on my son, and then

my husband used it on me!

Oh yeah, and my mom made this mixture for my emphysemic father to use for his

cough--he used it for years. It was the only thing that worked.

Carolyn - would it not be important to determine the exact cause of the

cough, or have you done that? Is it sinus related? Is it from the bronchi? Is it

lungs? I have a friend who has had every conceivable test and they have

concluded that it is a rare autoimmune thing caused by one line of cells of

which we

generally have few. He is being treated with steroids. Every cough has a reason

and an origin.....

I've noticed that I cough more in the morning and sometimes in the

evening. During the day, it's not so bad, execept in the wintertime.

It seems to be due to the chronic sinusitis and sinus drainage. I

didn't learn about sinusitis being a symptom of CLL until I joined

this group. I don't think it's so much a symptom, as it just seems a

lot of us have it. Then again I live in Denver, CO, and it's

prevalent here even without CLL. (at least my Doctor says it is).

I blow my nose right after I get out of the shower in the morning, and

it seems to pretty much solve the problem. At night, it's the night

air that sets it off, so sometimes I'll hold a hot wet washrag over my

nose and breath in the steam. Once things have loosened up, I'll blow

my nose and I don't cough anymore.

In the wintertime, I use the saline solution nasal spray and take

pseudifed (spelling??) if it gets too bad.

My sinus problems have caused a chronic post nasal drip which I have had

some success treating myself with a salt water irrigation at night and

when I wake up in the morning. I fill a paper cup that can be bent into

a shape that works with tepid water and just a tiny bit of salt, hold my

head over the sink, and pour it in one nostril adjusting the flow by

tipping my head so that the water comes out my other nostril or my

throat. I gently sniff in to get the solution into my sinuses. It seems

to have helped quite a bit, but I need to keep doing it. Good luck.

Thanks, CArol. My doctor told me to use salt water

last week and I have been doing it. Thus far, nno sign

of success, but I am hopeful. Carolyn

Carolyn - although some years ago I had my sinuses fixed, I have a nasty post nasal drip and sound like a frog for the first half of the day. It may be that you just have a nastier version of that. Seems unlikely that CLL mutated to lung.

Driving down from Nantucket to NYC today, will wave at you as we pass Providence :-)

Carolyn,

One problem that confronts many CLLers is chronic sinusitis and chronic bronchitis, related in part to the hypogammaglobulinemia (low antibody levels) associated with CLL. Your cough sounds like it might be related to the above. If so, then you might benefit from gammaglobulin (IV Ig). There would not be a benefit from chemotherapy.

Dear Dr. Furman, Thank you very much for your reply to

my question about whether chemo would relieve my

cough. My CT-scans do show that I have sinusitis, and

I often feel the mucous going down my throat. Would

you suggest sinus surgery for this? My pcp has said

that she has seen no permanent cure from sinus

surgery, in which case I do not want to go through it.

This year, I have had quite a bit done at Brigham and

Women's or Dana Farber: MOHS surgery for a basal cell

carcinoma, a sling inserted for my urethra, and

surgery for a small nodule of lung cancer. My pcp

says, " Enough, " but if sinus surgery would help, I

would be willing to try it next year because this

cough is a plague to me. Carolyn, Providence, RI, age

78, w & w

Carolyn,

My wife who has CLL as you do had a cough that hung on and on...

She saw a pulmonologist who treated her chronic sinus infection with antibiotics for 3 months. The sinus infection cleared nicely and her cough did as well.

Good health and good luck,

Carolyn,

The first treatments worth trying are therapies such as nasa steroids and antibiotics. If they do not resolve the issue, then I would try the gammaglobulin (IV Ig). This is one of the few indications for IV Ig and I have seen it work frequently.

DEr Dr. Furman, Thank you again for your counsel. I

forgot to say that I had IVIG twice, and it did

nothing for me. My pulmonary doctor will be

prescribing an antibiotic because my sputum sample did

show the presence of a bug, but I have found that that

cure is always short lived for me. I have decided

against even thinking about sinus surgery, having now

talked to people who clearly did not get the kind of

help I am looking for. So I may have to continue

living with this cough as my father did before me. i

hope I can follow his example of courage and strength,

even though he did not have the advantage of all that

relieves me, a asthma drugs in a nebulizer and air

conditioning. Carolyn

Dr. Furman, aI only had IVIG for two weeks t the

suggestion of my pulmonologist. My onc. did not feel

my gamma globulin was low enough to need it at all and

was against my getting it. I've now taken amoxicillin

for three days of a ten day course against moraxella,

but ;m still coughing heavily. I'll report those

results again later in this period. I appredite your

concern. Carolyn
