cough syrups?

Ok, I'm getting a cold. I have a closet full of cough syrup but I know
they all have sugar in them. I am looking for a good cough syrup w/o
sugar. It needs to be strong as I usually end up with bronchitis.

Thanks,
Jodie

Robitussin makes a sugar-free cough syrup. Check with the pharmacist.

Hope that helps,

Although it tastes rather feral (kind of like mouldy liquorice), most
chemists/drugstores will stock a basic 'Senega Ammonia' mixture. It isn't
based on a sugar syrup like most, and is great for clearing mucus off the
chest as well as soothing coughs. If you drink warm water after taking it,
the flavour departs your tongue faster

Most pharmacies carry sugarfree cough syrups for diabetics, but they
are usually near diabetic supplies, rather than with the other cough
syrups.

They come in variations like Robitussin does, containing the same
combinations of expectorant (loosens phlegm), cough suppressant, and
decongestant, possibly antihistamine as well. I'm not sure what you
mean by strong. Over the counter compositions are all the same dosages.

Thanks for the advice all!

I guess that by strong I meant that I'm used to getting cough syrup
with codeine from my Dr. I know that it must have sugar in it so I
decided on the sugar free robitussin and popping a half tablet of
codeine! I hate being sick. The worst part for me is no chcken noodle
soup!!!!

You could still have chicken soup, just without the noodles. Soup is great
when you're sick.

Nothing wrong with chicken soup without the noodles though! finely shred
some zucchini (or grate it) into it and you'll barely notice the missing
noodles
