Cough natural treatment 

If you have a bad cough and if it has persisted for over a week or two, you need to get a medical examination as soon as possible. Bad coughs are not merely a sign of cold. They can signal a vast variety of other things as well.


Do not ignore it, as it may be a warning sign. Once you get a clean chit from the doctor, if you do not wish to follow a medical treatment course, you can use some home remedies to take care of the cough. For instant soothing, crush some ginger, squeeze it and add the juice to honey and have this.


It will take care of persistent hacking cough to a large extent by soothing your throat and forming a coat of protective honey on your throat, while the ginger will keep mucus at bat.

You can also tuck a clove in one corner of your mouth and let its juices flow into your throat for a long time. This will help you to take care of a bad throat. Alternately, you can also use cardamom for the same effect. Green tea is known to be particularly useful in taking care of a bad throat and cough. You can brew some with a tablespoon of aniseed, a couple of cloves, cardamoms and peppercorns thrown in. this will work as a cough suppressant.
