Hi Gretchen,

Not knowing what other meds you are on or your medical history, we cannot

make a recommendation. I suggest that you call your pharmacist. They will know

exactly what you can and cannot take.

Here is a site here that has diabetic meds. You can also call your pharmacy

and ask them what they carry. Would be easier than ordering online. I have

never ordered from this site so I dont know if they are any good. But you

can at least get the medicine names off it then call and ask the pharmacy.

Maybe even walmart pharmacy may have the stuff even cheaper. fran

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Thanks for the reply Barb; I don't really have a cough but I'll

definitely keep in mind for any future episodes(hopefully they will

be few and far between)!

Something I have done for years is take 3 or 4 lemons and cut them in about

6 pieces. I put them in a pan and just cover them about an inch above with

water. I boil them about 5 minutes. I pour it in a coffee cup and sip it all

day. Something from the pealing, I cant remember the name right now. Really

breaks up and helps you get rid of chest conjestion. I drink 4 to 6 cups in

a day. I even give it to my kids when sick. It helps me well with the lung

spasems I get when sick. It tastes like warm lemonaid. My kids like honey in

it but I like it plain. As always ask your doctor before you try anything.

Do you have to take liquid medication? I don't think cold pills have

sugar in them..I take the kind that doesn't make you sleepy and has

cough suppressant in them...almost every store has them in a store

brand, but Comtrex is a good " name brand "
