From: GUEST,Richard Robinson Seconded - Otrivine is very effective for drying a dribbling nose ("Trust me, I'm a clarinettist"). Don't leave it till the last minute, last time I needed it it took a couple of hours to take effect. |

Sinutab seems to stop the mucus for a while, Fisherman's Friend allows me to hear myself and avoiding deep breath songs or introducing more breathe points helps with the need to cough. Plus the "waffle whilst tuning" can be all about the pros and cons of sucking a fisherman's friend. You'd be surprised how many actually haven't heard it..... |
