Several brands have been ineffective. the prescription narcotic cough suppressant has done nothing but cause halucinations and space me waaaaaaaay out. At least I sleep well. I have been sucking on drops for weeks. I have an inhaler from the doctor and am breathing free and clear yet still the tickle in the throat persists.

I am not answering my phone. I really need groceries but am avoiding leaving the house I am that concerned about being the unwelcome centre of attention.

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.
