Hey, everyone!
I have been looking everywhere for the answer to this and cannot find one, so hopefully someone here can answer it.

I have been "sick" for about a month now - just a cough really - and recently I went to the doctor about it... long story short - I came home with some cough syrup (among other things) and I am wondering - I take about 2 teaspoons of this a day and just thought about it... are there points in cough syrup? I know 2 teaspoons is not a lot, but still...

A little about the cough syrup, I don't know the name of it but I do know it has Codeine in it. If that helps.

Thanks!
Ivy

First, thanks for the welcome post to my first post. I really appreciate it. I figure at the very least I won't eat while I'm typing on a weight loss forum.
About the cough syrup, you are better off healthy than worring about the points in a couple teaspoons. The Codeine is a narcotic so be careful. the cough syrup only helps the symptoms though. Did they gave you an antibiotic or anything? Sometimes long term coughs can be from allergies or sinus problems.
Great job on your success so far!
I hope you feel better.

Thank you!

Yeah, get this... I have an antibiotic, an inhaler, and the cough syrup... but... he said, "give these a try for like a week, if it doesn't get better, it's indigestion and just take some Prolosec OTC." WHAT?! You are having me spend 50 dollars on meds and you are not even sure if that is what it is?! UGH! *laughs* But, I have two days left in the antibiotics and it's still not better.

Thank you for the well wishes!
