You or your hubby should speak to your pharmacist and take details of all your medications so they can help you chose the most suitable stuff. Mine is excellent and have a close relationship with our surgery. Hope you feel better soon.

I find the sugar free hacks push my blood sugar up and also leave a nasty coating on my teeth - I very rarely get a cough or cold since diagnosis and eating LCMF but if I do need something I like the Ricola liquorice sweets for a cough

What makes it harder is that some medications contain sugar! Good grief! Is there no escape?
