This is the time to avoid drinking and eating cold things.Even if the climate demands more icy beverages, care first for the demands your body has.
Gargle with salt water or with black tea. This will help relieve the cough faster.
Rub the throat with warm eucalyptus, almond or sesame oil before sleeping. This will help the cold and also ensure you sleep better.
Wet fomentation with hot water is another useful remedy to fight cough.
Drink plenty of ginger, cardamom, or cinnamon tea. These spices are known to have healing effects for coughs.
Make a concoction of black pepper, dry ginger and honey. Have one teaspoon of this every 2 hours for relief.

Thank you for your input on how to get rid of a cough. I learned some new things. I had just read recently that the onion syrup mix works wonders. However, it specified red onions only. Have you had success with other onion types? I find that garlic oil, in odorless capsules, is very helpful in giving the immune system a boost once a cough starts.

Really garlic and most important some onions also really helpful to cure the cough. But really we have to take medicines when we are affected by cough. Some household spices may helpful to cure cough in a good way.

Color of the disease is always important and it wil helpful to know the severeness of that particular diseases. If its green or dark generally its a cough prone i think as some members explained here.

Yes, you are quite right when it comes to the garlic and other household spices to cure a cough. A doctor once told me that if the mucous/phlegm of a cough was clear to a yellow color it is treatable and will pass in time. However, if it is green or dark in nature, it is most likely bacterial and may need to be treated with a doctor's prescription and antibiotic medication.

Thanks for the information. But these are not for all. The people who are cough prone would not get relief. According to Aurveda, the ancient Indian treatment, the peolple belongs to three groups, cough prone, Air prone and gall prone. Cough prone people will not be cured from the mentioned remedies. My husband is a cough prone people. He is trying his best to be free from cough. But in vain. Every year he has to undergo medical treatment with high antibiotics for two to three times. Last three he is quit better than before. He had not to go to doctor during the period. But there was cough. And it was normal to him. The food supplement which he has been taking is Bio-C from Amway.
Thanks agian for sharing your knowledge with us.
