Candy as medicine

I seem to have come down with the latest plague going around. It is moving through its various stages and today has hit the "random uncontrollable coughing to no good effect" stage. This is one of my least favorite stages of the flu because it seems to go on forever, makes a whole damn lot of noise, tears up your lungs and throat and generally irritates you and everyone around you. And it's always after the infectious stage, so you're usually back at work making all that noise.

My answer? I'm eating licorice. It's purely for medicinal purposes, of course - it coats the throat! Not because it is tasty sugary goodness, no sir.

Is it liquorice or licorice to you? And where are you from?
