Despite taking strong doses of codene I'm still coughing. I think the medicine may have gone a bit wonky.
Now first up, thanks to Uncle Warren, I was suprised and pleased to note Steven Moffat has been confirmed as being head banana for Doctor Who. W00t!
Now no spoilers, Kiddies. I haven't watched much of Season Three yet, let alone anything current.

(Oh and I hate LJs built in editor. Just waiting for Deepest Sender to catch up)

Codeine's been shown to be ineffective as a cough suppressant. Dark chocolate, however, has been shown to have a miniscule cough-suppressant effect, so is currently in the lead.

Huh! There you go.

Not like I didn't check with my GP n all. Is this a relatively new finding or is there just bad info in the channel in general?

Codeine being useless: old news
Dark chocolate: relatively new news.

Cough syrup for kids work by virtue of containing alcohol and anti-histamines, that induce sleep, which overrides the coughing. No actual cough suppressant in there at all.
