What Are the Best Home Remedies for Dry Cough? - #11818

I have been suffering from a dry cough for a few days, and it gets worse at night. I don’t want to take chemical-based cough syrups, so I’m looking for the best home remedies for dry cough that provide natural relief. One of the most common remedies I found is honey and ginger juice. Some people say that mixing one teaspoon of honey with a few drops of ginger juice soothes the throat and reduces irritation. Has anyone tried this? Should it be taken before sleeping or throughout the day? I also read that turmeric milk (haldi doodh) is an effective home remedy for dry cough. Since turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, does drinking warm milk with turmeric and black pepper help reduce coughing? How long does it take to see results? Another natural remedy I came across is chewing mulethi (licorice root). Some sources say that keeping a small piece of mulethi in the mouth can help soothe a dry throat and control coughing. Does this work instantly, or does it need to be taken for a few days? Some people also suggest steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil or ajwain (carom seeds) to loosen throat irritation and provide relief. Has anyone tried this for dry cough? How long should I inhale the steam for the best results? Lastly, are there any foods or drinks to avoid when suffering from a dry cough? Some say that cold drinks, fried foods, and dairy make it worse, while others suggest that warm herbal teas and soups help with healing. What diet changes should be followed for fast recovery? If anyone has successfully cured a dry cough at home, please share your experience! I’d love to know the best natural remedies for quick relief.
