What Is the Best Home Remedy for Dry Cough That Actually Works? - #11725
I have had a dry cough for almost three weeks now, and nothing is working. At first, I thought it would go away on its own, but it’s only getting worse. The worst part is that my throat feels dry and scratchy all the time, especially at night. It wakes me up, and then I keep coughing for hours. I tried some over-the-counter cough syrups, but they make me drowsy and don’t seem to work long-term. That’s why I’m looking for the best home remedy for dry cough. I know there are many home remedies, but I want to find one that actually gives fast relief. Some people have suggested honey and black pepper, while others say ginger tea is good for a dry cough. But should I drink these before bed or throughout the day? Also, I heard that turmeric milk can help, but I don’t really like the taste of turmeric. Does anyone know if mixing it with something else can make it taste better? One more thing—is steam inhalation useful for dry cough, or is it only for coughs with mucus? I want to find a best home remedy for dry cough that works without making me feel sleepy or tired. If you have tried something that helped you, please let me know!
