Re: Cough from Tykerb...ANYONE???
Sheila- I have runny eyes - and a cough too - but mostly the first week after the Herceptin --- not enough to become a cough drop junkie - but it is a little bothersome. I have 3 more months - so praying I am drug free from then on!
Have you tried a hot water - with lemon and honey - it seems to help me ... I drink it off and on in the day. Also, the lemon helps regulate (alkaline) the pH of the body - so I feel I am killing two birds with one stone! :-)
Good luck --- Karen
