I’ve had a terrible chronic cough for years diagnosed as reflux cough by several doctors. I’ve always felt my throat is where most of the coughing starts. It’s not a sore throat. Just about finished with my 1st bottle of Elderberry Super Syrup and my cough has become much less often. I’m so thankful that I tried your syrup. Along with a daily spoon of syrup and lots of prayer I’m hoping it continues to improve. Have already shared about your syrup with a friend. Thank you.
