What is the best cough syrup for dry cough home remedies? - #12570
I’ve been dealing with a dry cough for the past few days, and it’s really irritating. There’s no mucus, just a constant tickle in my throat that won’t go away. I don’t want to use over-the-counter syrups because they make me drowsy, so I’m looking for an effective cough syrup for dry cough home remedies that actually works. I have tried honey and ginger tea, but the relief is only temporary. Are there any homemade Ayurvedic syrups that provide long-lasting relief? I’ve read that Tulsi, Mulethi, and black pepper can help with a dry cough—what’s the best way to combine them into a syrup? Another thing—does steam inhalation help with a dry cough, or is it more for congestion? I usually do it when I have a cold, but I’m not sure if it will help with this type of cough. Also, is there anything I should avoid eating while I have a dry cough? Some people say dairy makes it worse, while others recommend turmeric milk. What’s the right approach? If anyone has a tried-and-tested cough syrup for dry cough home remedy, please share your recipe! What ingredients work best, and how often should it be taken?
