A nasty cough - especially one at night - can be so very uncomfortable, ... and yes, you are correct - home remedies for a cough can help to reduce irritating symptoms and heal minor coughs. if the symptoms get worse, like if you have difficulty breathing, always go to a medical doctor. In addition to treating the symptoms, most home remedies for a cough also treat the underlying cause, and will expectorate mucus trapped in the lungs, and you will breathe more easily.
Try to also improve your enviornment. Warm, moist air is good for people with coughs, and in extreme coughs you can benefit from taking a hot shower, staying in a humid bathroom, or standing over a sink draped in a towel while running hot water. The warm, moist air helps to break up the mucus, allowing you to expectorate it. In addition, fluids are a crucial part of all home remedies for a cough: drink lots of water, juice, and herbel tea while avoiding caffeine and alcohol.
Most home remedies for a cough are those of the natural properties of plants like Ginger, lemon, garlic, and honey, all good for cough sufferers. Perhaps the most common home remedy is lemon juice and honey mixed with boiling water. This mixture helps to soothe the throat and encourages the breaking up of mucus. This home remedy can be taken at any time, although it is more effective when taken several times aa day. Add ginger for extra healing properties, or if the cough sufferer feels nausea. Garlic can also help, and is an immune system booster.
A balanced assortment of these remedies for a cough in combination with warmth, rest, and plenty of fluids can help to put an end to a cold. If symptoms continue, get worse, or are accompanied by bleeding or shortness of breath, you should go to a doctor or emergency room if the symptoms merit it. Make sure to tell the doctor how long you have been sick, what kinds of remedies I've told you to use.
