I'm sorry you're having such a tough time with this cold and cough. Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions for a cough medication because I haven't used one in a while. I do use lozenges and can recommend two that haven't triggered IBS symptoms:
1. Ricola Natural Lemon Mint Drops
Active Ingredients: Each drop contains: Menthol 1.5mg (Oral pain reliever)
Inactive Ingredients: Color (caramel), Extract Of Ricola's Herb Mixture (elder, Horehound, Hyssop, Lemon Balm, Linden Flowers, Mallow, Peppermint, Sage, Thyme, Wild Thyme), Honey, Natural Flavors (Lemon, Peppermint), Starch Syrup, Sugar
2. Chloraseptic Sore Throat Lozenges, Cherry (15 calories and 3.75 grams of sugar per lozenge)
Active Ingredients: per lozenge: Benzocaine (6 mg), Menthol (10 mg)
Inactive Ingredients: Blue 1, Corn Syrup, Flavor, Red 40, Sucrose
I'm not sure if either of these would work for you since they contain sugar. But maybe they'd be okay for short term use?? I also get some sore-throat relief from Stash's Lemon-Ginger tea, which I usually drink when I'm nauseated or after meals as a digestive aid.
I hope you feel better soon!
