## Overview
Coughing is an annoying experience. Whatever type of cough you may have, it is irritating, especially when it is repetitive. While cough takes its own time to go away, some at-hand home remedies for cough can soothe a persistent cough. According to medical science, there are different types of cough. Some may need aggressive treatment as they may indicate some major illness or infection, while others may occur simply due to climate changes or allergies.
No matter what type of cough you have, natural remedies may come in handy. Whether it is a dry barking cough or wet cough, persistent or intermittent, natural remedies can help you get relief.
## Getting Rid of Cough Using Home Remedies
As you struggle to get relief from the cough that snatches away your night’s sleep and doesn’t let you relax, some easily available cough remedies may come to your rescue. Ginger, honey, turmeric milk, liquorice sticks, a decoction of some herbs, and several other natural cough remedies may solve your problem. Several natural herbs and procedures are effective in treating cough. Let us discuss the best home remedies for cough.
Before you choose the natural cough remedy, it is essential to know the causes of the cough and whether the cough is due to some serious illness.
## Causes of Cough
Commonly, the cough may be a sign of an allergy, seasonal variation, runny nose, or heartburn. However, medical conditions such as asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis may cause cough. While your cough gives you a tough time, especially at night-time, try using a pillow below your head to elevate it and get some relief. We bring for you some useful natural home remedies for cough that can be easily carried out.
## Tips and remedies for treating cough at home
Here are some tips and remedies for [treating cough at home](https://www.medanta.org/patient-education-blog/natural-cough-remedies-and-prevention-tips/):
- **Ginger:** Ginger is a well-known spice and is commonly used in food for its unique flavour. It helps to widen your airways and eases breathing. Add ginger to hot tea or simply boil it with cinnamon, anise, and tulsi to make a decoction. Sip it when it's hot, and relax. It is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, and also helps to cure cough due to indigestion. You can mix dried ginger powder with honey or make candy at home.
- **Honey:** Honey is a traditional medicine that helps in reducing mucus production. It contains antioxidants that help soothe the inflamed throat and control coughing. However, never give it to children below one year of age due to the risk of poisoning.
- **Turmeric:** Turmeric is nature’s gift as a spice due to its medicinal value and strong antioxidant and antiseptic actions. A pinch of turmeric powder added to warm milk at night can control mucus production, soothe the sore throat, and control cough. Add a pinch of pepper powder to turmeric milk to enhance the effect of turmeric. You may also have it with warm water just before going to bed. You may simply have turmeric with honey.
- **Liquorice:** Liquorice is an ancient cough remedy with the scientific backing of Ayurveda. Having liquorice powder or sucking the sticks provide cough relief.
- **Thyme:** Thyme has expectorant activity and hence helps in expelling the mucus out. It is also antibacterial and antiviral. Add it to tea and use it for cough treatment.
- **Steam:** Have you been experiencing cough with congestion of the airways? Go for steam inhalation; it will immediately clear your airways. Steam also kills harmful bacteria and viruses.
- **Neti Pot:** One common reason for cough is swelling of the airways. You may use a traditional technique of irrigating the nasal passages with saline water to wash out mucus for cough treatment. Using a Neti pot will help you deal with the inflammation that causes cough.
- **Gargle:** Saltwater gargles are a classic way to fight the soreness of the throat and thus control cough. The warm water can help in the quick expulsion of mucus.
- **Hot soup:** Hot soup of chicken or clear hot soup of mixed vegetables will be perfect on a day that keeps you low due to cough. Sip on the hot soup and experience its soothing effect on the cough.
## What to do in case of persistent cough?
Always consult a physician if home remedies are not giving any relief from a persistent cough or when you see blood in the cough. If coughing is due to some infection, your doctor will prescribe you some medications.
To know more about the treatment of cough, book your appointment with a physician today at Medanta Hospital.
## Conclusion
A persistent cough may be nasty and difficult to handle. While medicines do their bit, natural remedies can give quick relief when used in addition to medicines. Try dietary changes if heartburn is causing the cough. Talk to your doctor regarding any interaction of the herbs with the medication so that you may choose the right natural remedy for cough treatment.
