This is a bit of a no-brainer sorry because it's in cough syrups, but it really does work well!
At times I've had dry coughs that genuinely concerned me because they didn't show clear signs of stopping on their own. But luckily I've always had the ol' glycerin cough syrup on-hand and it worked FAST! Sometimes unless it's due to heartburn and then you'll need to fix that itself (sodium alginate or something).
You can mix up the glycerin yourself I think though with just water and vegetable glycerin.
I just wanted to share because it's really felt like a life-saver for me before at times!
