How can I overcome dry cough naturally and quickly? - #12577

Anonymously

I’ve been dealing with a persistent dry cough for a few days now. It started as a minor irritation in my throat, but it’s now become unbearable, especially at night. I’ve tried various over-the-counter cough syrups, but they only provide temporary relief. I’m looking for a natural solution on how to overcome dry cough without relying on chemicals. I’ve heard that honey, ginger, and warm water can help soothe the throat, but is there anything more effective? Some people recommend herbal teas or Ayurvedic syrups—do any of these work better for a dry cough? I’ve read about using Tulsi and Mulethi for throat health. Should I make a decoction with these herbs, or is it better to take them as powders? Also, is there a specific diet that can help when dealing with a dry cough? Should I avoid dairy and cold drinks, or do they actually help soothe the throat? What about spicy food—is that a good or bad idea? If anyone has successfully managed to overcome dry cough with natural remedies, please share what worked for you. How long did it take for you to see relief, and is there anything I can do to prevent the cough from coming back?
