Just a Lucky Dog: June 2015

Thursday, June 25, 2015

I didn’t know to read the ingredients of cough drops before,

but when Mr. Man got strep throat the other week,

it hurt so bad that we were extremely motivated!

It turns out that Sucrets has a wonderful ingredient

for throat pain: Dyclonine hydrochloride.

Did you know that? I didn’t.

And according to Mr. Man,

it helped better than the Rx from the doctor!

But not all Sucrets are created equal...

The Vapor Cherry flavor has 3 mg.,

some others only have 2 mg.

I think I’m also going to get some cough drops

that have Benzocaine in them to have on hand, too.

I didn’t know about them at the time,

and they sound like something definitely worth trying.

For coughing, sugar-free Ricolas won the prize.

(And sleeping in the easy chair.)

But please, get the sugar-free kind.

I used the regular, sugared ones during my recent
respiratory bug and got a bad case of Oral Thrush.

You don’t want to mess with that!

“Live and learn and then get Luvs.”

XOXO,

Lucky Dog
