Hi, I have a sore throat and cough right now I'm in Jakarta. Its actually the change of weather causing it at the moment. The transit from wet season to dry season. I've got it cuz I've been really busy with work lately and not looking after myself :)
You can get strepsil soothers here, and cough medicine, they have benedryl (not sure of spelling) and also another good one is ACTIFED... which is what im using now...
you can get Berocca also, which tastes much better than the one from Oz which I think tastes disgusting.
Another good vitamin C boost is VITACIMIN which comes in a little tube like Berocca... :) All availabe from Circle K or the local APOTIK (chemist) and it doesnt cost much :)
