cough
"My husband got me some Delsym (purple kind) for a horrific, barking cough I had. (It was so bad he tried to talk me into going to the ER) After 30 minutes, I actually slept through the entire night, with only 1-2 instances of a cough. I took it 2 nights in a row & each night I slept the entire night with little to no coughing. I've been reading all the reviews, to see if anyone had the same weird feeling in their chest as I did, but from what I see, most people have had issues with diarrhea. I had NO issues with the Big "D" at all. None. Just a weird feeling in my chest/throat area, like a numbness or pressure. Could have just been from all the coughing I had done & was finally able to get a break."
