What Are the Best Home Treatments for Dry Cough, and How Do They Provide Relief? - #12098
I’ve had a dry cough for several days, and it’s becoming frustrating. What are the best home treatments for dry cough, and how do they help provide relief and soothe the throat? From what I understand, natural remedies like honey, turmeric, and saltwater gargles are effective for treating a dry cough. How do these remedies work to calm the throat and reduce the irritation that causes coughing? What is the best way to use these treatments? Should honey be consumed alone, or can it be mixed with other ingredients for added benefits? How often should turmeric be consumed for optimal relief? Additionally, I’ve read that humidifiers and steam inhalation can help clear the airways and prevent a dry cough. How does this method work, and how frequently should it be used? Lastly, are there any lifestyle changes or dietary practices that can help prevent the recurrence of dry cough?
