is papaya good for cough - #23796

I am dealing with this persistent cough that just won't go away. My friend suggested I try some papaya, saying that is papaya good for cough? I’m kinda curious if there’s any truth to this. Over the last few weeks, I've been experiencing this annoying dry cough, especially at night, making it hard to sleep. It’s like my throat is so irritated, and I can’t figure out why. I tried a bunch of over-the-counter syrups, but they didn't really help much. I heard papaya has some benefits for respiratory issues? I mean, I know it's packed with nutrients, and my friend's grandma swears by it, but I wonder if it's just an old wives' tale? How would I actually use papaya for my cough? Should I eat it raw, or make some kind of juice? Would love to hear any Ayurvedic insights on this, like, is papaya good for cough or should I be looking at other remedies? Thanks!
