best home remedies - #14644
I am struggling with this persistent cough that’s been ruining my nights and even my days. It started out just as a tickle in my throat after a cold a few weeks ago, but now it's turning into this deep annoying cough that just won't go away, and I can't sleep. I've done the whole over-the-counter cough syrup thing, tried throat lozenges, even been drinking honey and lemon like crazy but it just doesn't seem to work! My friends keep telling me about the best home remedies they've used in the past, you know, like ginger tea or warm salt water gargles. But are they really that effective? I read somewhere that steam inhalation can help too, but I've never tried it. If anyone has real experiences with home remedies for a cough, what worked for you? Recently I also heard about some herbal stuff, like turmeric milk, is it actually any good? Or should I just stick with what my doctor said and give it time, even though it feels like forever? I feel like I'm going in circles here, just need some advice on the best home remedies that have really worked for others out there. Thanks, everyone!
