What is the best remedy for severe cough?....

I normally crush some ginger and 2 pepper corns and boil it with hot water, add a tablespoonful of honey and some lime juice and sip it slowly while it is hot.This really helps ...In india we get some medicinal leaves called Dodda patre , the juice of these leaves can be mixed with honey and slowly licked which also helps in relieving the itchiness in the throat ! all the best

One best remedy that worked out well for me was drinking a cup of lukewarm water added with a spoon of butter. I had consistent cough for more than 2 weeks. ANd when I heard of this remedy, I tried it just twice on a day. And you will be surprised to hear that the cough stopped after that.

If it is persistent for more than week , then you have obviously caught some infection.Take some mild antibiotics for three days.It will get controlled. First start gargling with salt water three times a day and have only hot water to drink. See if you are slightly better; you can take some antiallergy tablet too. You can switch over to antibioitics later after a day.

Hi friend you can use chemical remedies or natural remedies. If you want to take chemical remedies, it is a good idea if you ask to your doctor, but if you want to take home remedy I will share my experience. Prepare a lemon and 3 spoonful of honey. Squeeze the lemon and then put in the glass, enter three spoonful of honey and add warm water until almost full, stir and drink immediately. Drink three time a day. I hope you do not have stomach problem after drink this mixture, because some people can drink lemon water.

If its from a week, consult a doctor. Try these: 1.Boil Ginger with Tulsi(Basil) leaves and drink with honey when lukewarm 2.Take about 100 gram of Lady's finger and cut to pieces. Add these with about 1/2 liter of water and boil. After boiling sometime , inhale the steam twice daily to get relief from dry cough and throat irritation. 3.take a glass of warm milk and add 1 tsp turmeric powder and 1 tsp black pepper powder. Drink twice daily.

severe cough? you better seek the help of a doctor.. so that he will prescribe you the best possible cure.. early this year,i cough a lot and it lasted for more than a month.. i went to the doctor for check up and he prescribed me some moculytics and antibiotics.i followed his instruction.and for a week,the cough went away.. aside from taking medicine,i drink a lot of water..every morning, i drink hot water with salt and lemon... i avoid drinking cold drinks....water is a best therapy sweetie... anyway,do you smoke? one reason of coughing is smoking. you better quit smoking.. i started smoking since i was 13...and early this year, i quit from this vice...its a cold turkey... i manage to fight the side effects of nicotine withdrawal...now, i feel better... my workmates notice a lot of improvement to myself physically... this is now for good....smoking kills..if you dont want to die young, better quit smoking... there is a saying that goes, "quitter never wins, Winners never quit"... yet i say,to quit from smoking is a sure winning..

I also have it now Gamyam. In fact, I have also a sore throat because of this. I am only drinking hot lemon juice. I hope it will get better soon.

the best solution is see a doctor. cough for more than a week is bad, it requires medical attention. For home remedies, I trust lemon and honey. It's the best. Just mixed freshly squeezed lemon juice with honey and drink it.

I've been through that.. and thanks god I'm okey now.. Well, I'll share to you what I did to move on from dry cough but i'm not sure if it is effective to you... I took ascof 600mg 3 x day, I took it after meals.. I drink hot lemonade everynight before bed and drink more water .. drink as much as you can.. Get well soon!

Have ginger tea and vicks cough drops,if it still persist,see a doctor.

I still think that it will be wise if you resorted to visit your doctor since it is a severe cough...I hate cough . It is really uncomfortable and caused me sleepless nights

Usually coughs go away on their own and no need of medicine and medical check ups. But when do you need to go to the doctor? It is after two weeks of continuous and unexplainable coughing. The doctor can give you medications that can range from expectorant (to expel phlegm), anti-histamine (if your coughing is caused by an allergic reaction), antibiotics (to combat bacteria) or suppressant (to stop coughing). But the best thing you should first do whenever there is a start of coughing is to drink lots of water and fluids. This would counteract immediately to build up of bacteria in the throat that may trigger coughing. You can also try steam inhalation, if your coughing is more asthmatic.

the best remedy for severe cough is to get IV drip in the hospital.this is most effective to me.sleeping in bed and take medicines are noneffective in general.and don't delay going to the doctor's.stop the cough as early as possible in order to avoid its mutation to fatal disease.

ill encountered this kind of problems i used to intake vicks syrup and its totally effective try it.

Hi Gamyam, I will suggest good home made medicine for your cough, take some luke warm milk and add powder of black pepper and turmeric a little and mix it thoroughly and consume it. Plus 8 pieces of black pepper seads, 2 garlic cloves, two small pieces of salt and little chiwda for taste crush them in the mouth and consume it daily for three days your cough will go away.

See a doctor. I had a cough for nealry two years - just an annoying cough and it was a symptom of my heart disease but not picked up by my cardiologist

Having cough is the most irritating problem anyone would not like to have. Having it for more than a week should be given attention. You need to consult a doctor for this problem. Cough medicines good for others might not be good for your cough problem, so it's better to seek doctor's advice before taking any cough medicines. Also refrain from taking any cold drinks and drink plenty of water.

I like to suck on hard candies not cough drops. Honey is good as well as warm tea.

there are some traditiona mdeicine for cough, they are herbs. Homemade cough syrups and herbal medicine teas make use of simple ingredients like honey and lemon infused with healing herbs.. lemon is one of them

Hi gamyam, my health is not something that I question...thats why I don't have any problems going to the doctor if I need to do so. What works for some people may not work for you besids lets just hope that its nothing serious but you need to get the advise from your doctors just to make sure it is nothing serious and just a mild cough...Feel better soon.....
