Continuous dry cough alternative treatment

Continuous dry cough alternative treatment 

You develop a cough as a result of an infection that the membrane lining your lungs has developed. An infected membrane will secrete more mucous. Coughing is the easiest way to get rid of the extra mucous.


However, if your cough persists for a long period of time, it is advisable to see the doctor, since this could be the symptom of some other illness.

Grapes have expectorant qualities and are very effective in treating cough. You should drink a cup of grape juice with one tablespoon of honey mixed in it.


Onion juice extracted by chopping and squeezing an onion, is also very useful in treating a cough. You can mix equal quantities of onion juice and honey and store the preparation. Drinking a tablespoon of this twice a day will help relieve your cough.

You should refrain from eating oily and rich food. Instead your diet should include soft food that will not cause any trouble while swallowing. Hot drinks like milk and soup will also soothe you. Hot water with some lemon juice and a little honey mixed in makes a good drink.   You can also drink a cup of warm milk at bedtime. Adding one small pinch of turmeric to this will help you too. You should avoid drinking too much tea and coffee and should stay away from ice creams and other cold things.
