I remember having a conversation with someone on Steepster to the effect that honeybush tea can help with coughs and other respiratory problems. I hope it’s true, because my cold just won’t bloody GO AWAY!
It does seem to soothe my irritated throat at least. Mmmm honey. :)

I’m sick too… and a headache just set in.
My experience of it was that it helped to reduce that thick, sluggish feeling in my mouth and throat that came from too much congestion…sort of like…sweeping out the cobwebs. It’s an expectorant (reputedly), so whether this will increase or decrease your cough may depend upon how mild an expectorant or how congested your pipes are, I imagine. It didn’t give me any trouble last time I was sick, though!
@Sophistre: That’s great to know, thanks! :)
