| Summery : A cough can be an annoying symptom of many ills, including a cold, sinus infection, bronchitis or another respiratory condition.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions to help calm a cough: |
|
* Suck on cough drops or hard candy to soothe a dry, tickling cough.
* Use a vaporizer at home to add more moisture to the air.
* Take a hot shower. The steam will help soothe your cough.
* Drink plenty of liquids. They'll help break up mucus in your throat.
* If you smoke, stop.
* Never give a young child any medication to treat a cold or cough without consulting your doctor.
