hyderabad: The seasonal flu seems to be causing more coughs than ever in Hyderabad residents. If you're tired of taking cough syrups and popping pills to relieve your cough, here are some natural remedies for an uncontrollable cough. Cough can be avoided with the most basic household ingredients such as salt, honey, and lime.
- lemon and honey
Mixing lemon and honey with hot water does wonders for your throat. Honey not only has antibacterial properties, but when combined with lime, which is rich in vitamin C, it also boosts immunity. You can also add a teaspoon of honey to your tea. - salt water gargle
Adding a little salt to a glass of warm water and gargling it first thing in the morning can help you get through a cough-free day. It not only reduces throat inflammation but also shortens the duration of cough. - steam inhalation
Inhaling the steam may relieve congestion and soothe irritated airways. You can use a humidifier, take a hot shower, or breathe in steam from a bowl of hot water. A few drops of Zinda Tilismath will enhance the effectiveness of steam inhalation. - turmeric
Turmeric has antibacterial properties and can help relieve coughs when mixed with milk or pepper. Additionally, you can add ginger or turmeric to your regular chai. - cut onions
If you have already tried all other treatments and your symptoms do not improve, here is an unorthodox solution. Just cut an onion and the strong steam from the onion will relieve your cough. Place this on the table next to you or on your bedside. Although it may sound unusual, this treatment is very popular in Spain and France.
