Relief for coughing?

At the moment I don't have any cough drops or any real medicine for it. Anybody know any techniques to cure it, and make sure it doesn't keep me up? I sound like an old smoker.

Hot tea with honey?

Exactly what I was going to say.




Just did a quick search and here are a few more ideas:


1) 1 tablespoon honey, any kind
1 tablespoon vinegar, preferably apple-cider vinegar
8 ounces hot water

Mix all the ingredients together in a mug and sip slowly (but don't let it get cold). Use as often as desired.

For gargling: You'll need 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, and 1 cup warm water. Dissolve the salt in the vinegar, then mix in the water. Gargle every 15 minutes as necessary.


2) Combine 1 tablespoon pure horseradish or horseradish root with 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon ground cloves. Mix in a glass of warm water and drink slowly.


3) Sip lemon juice. Mix 1 tablespoon each of honey and lemon juice in 1 cup warm water and sip away.

Drink lime juice. Combine 1 spoonful with a spoonful of honey and take as often as needed for a sore throat.


4) One old-fashioned remedy for a cold or sore throat is a steam tent -- sitting with your face over a bowl of steaming hot water and your head covered with a towel to keep the steam in. Adding 1 to 2 drops eucalyptus oil can be soothing.

While it's easy to dismiss such a simple measure as an old wives' tale, several scientific studies have shown that steaming can actually shorten the duration of a throat infection.



Hope you feel better soon.

Just tried the Tea with honey. Still feel the urge coming..... Tasted good, though. lol

And thank you. Me too.

These if you've got any:

Nothing that hasn't already been suggested. And first change you get, buy a cough suppressent. Robistussin is a good brand cough syrup.

Yeah I was going to say green tea and honey. Doesn't hurt to have something cold like ice cream though either, sometimes that can numb your throat a bit and quieten down the cough a bit.
