Got a cough/throat problem? Want strepsils?

Hah funny enough, I'm fighting off a sore throat this moment. Initially I got the only Halstabletten I could find, from Migros, made by Sanactiv for 6 francs. Useless. Taste like candy and you get some 36 of them, I burned through them in 2 days. Only plus, is that they taste good. Like candy. You know, maybe it is candy?

Anywho, I tried to find some Halls or vics around here but managed to find Strepsils w/ Honig & Zitrone at an Apotheke. They seem to be working. Only downsides are that they leave the roof of your mouth numb and cost about 50 rappen/tabletten.

I remember there was some aweful, aweful tea you could boil and then gargle. It smelt/tasted horrid but the next morning you were good to go. Don't remember the name anymore.
