Every 3-4 years I have a cough that lingers for a while. (I attribute it to spending lots of time on airplanes travelling from one extreme climate to another which I no longer do but I digress.) The cough would be much worse at night and NOTHING I took ever seemed to help. I thought it was post-nasal drip but nothing ever helped; it would just go away eventually.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 This made me laugh ( not the article ), reminding me of this cough market up at our local food center. It's name is 666 cough medicine, I kid you not. Anyone seen this around besides me? They say they have been around for a long time.
