We asked in our BRAVA Blast, and this reader shares her potentially potent cure: my mother's all-time cough medicine standby when i was a kid: cut an onion in half, place in a sauce dish, sprinkle with a little sugar and place on top of the refrigerator (it was warm there and out of the reach of kids) to let it "draw its own juice."
