Health Tips
Here are some home remedies for dry cough
-*Honey*: Honey has antibacterial properties and can also help to coat the throat, alleviating irritation. One study in 2007 found that honey was as effective as diphenhydramine, which is used in Benadryl, for children with a cough. However, it wasn’t as effective as dextromethorphan, which is used in Delsym and Robitussin.
- *Turmeric*: Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound that may have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. It may also be beneficial for several conditions, including a dry cough. Curcumin is best absorbed into the bloodstream when taken with black pepper.
- *Ginger*: Ginger has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger can be found in many teas as an ingredient. You can also make ginger tea from ginger root by steeping the peeled or cut root in warm water.
- *Marshmallow root*: Marshmallow root is a type of herb. It’s used in cough syrup and in lozenges to soothe dry cough.
- *Peppermint*: Peppermint contains menthol, which helps to numb nerve endings in the throat that become irritated by coughing. This may provide pain relief and reduce the urge to cough.
Over the counter medical store syrup for dry cough can be tried after local consultation in the dose of 10ml every 8hours.
If you're still unreleived or concerned about your symptoms, it's always best to consult a doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment. if you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask!
