I have severe asthma and have tried a lot of different cough medicines, but they are not that great. Get some orange juice and heat it up and get a jar of honey and add a spoonful of it to the hot drink. Stir in well. It is the only thing that stops an annoying cough in it tracks. It really does work. I think honey is a great natural product that is good for a lot of things. I hope you try this. Take care and get well.

With cold and cough,it is said that,without medicine you get cured in 7 days and with medicine you get off in just a week.LOL! Jokes apart,drink only boiled water and as others had told ,take some honey.It soothes your throat.Also eat well.You have to feed the cold and starve the fever.So a rich food will help you.

The mineral zinc works very well to alleviate throat pain and will not interact badly with your medicines in any way. Zinc is a very inexpensive mineral supplement that we keep on hand always as it also helps prevent illness. Please do NOT take it on an empty stomach, however, as it could make you very nauseous. What one needs to do for a cold is to neutralize the pH in your body. That is why some couch remedies include vinegar and honey or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Of course plenty of rest and nutritious food are very important, too. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Raw honey with garlic extracts taken on full stomach like when you take cough syrup is very very effective. Try it friend but make sure your stomach is full! Also do not drink cold water, you can help yourself with warm water instead.
