Ugh.

Well .... this last 3 or 4 weeks has been fun - not. It started all ok for me (non-work) wise, as I finally got a couple of computer-based things I've always wanted to get fixed done. But halfway though as of last week I managed to pick up someones' flu or cold from work. Yuk. I still have the tickly cough and what is worse this all gets recycled

Hrm, if you're not coughing anything up and it doesn't feel like you have anything to cough up then perhaps it might be due to mucus trickling from your nose to the back of your throat (only if you're having a runny nose would I suspect this). If that's the case then I'd use a simple antihistamine. Diphenhydramine (benadryl) if you don't care about drowsiness or loratadine (Claritin) if you want less-drowsy.

If you don't have a runny nose then I'd just use dextromethorphan (Delsym) if it's really just a cough and nothing more. Otherwise the antihistamine should help.
