1. Honey
To use honey to treat a cough, mix two teaspoons with warm water or an herbal tea. Drink this mixture once or twice a day. Do not give honey to children under age 1 year of age
2. Ginger
Brew up a soothing ginger tea by adding 20-40 grams of fresh ginger slices to a cup of hot water. Allow to steep for a few minutes before drinking. Add honey or lemon juice to improve the taste and further soothe a cough.
3. Salt water gargle
This simple remedy is one of the most effective for treating a sore throat and wet cough. Salt water reduces phlegm and mucus in the back of the throat which can lessen the need to cough
Stir half a teaspoon of salt into a cup of warm water until it dissolves. Allow the solution to cool slightly before using it to gargle. Let the mixture sit at the back of the throat for a few moments before spitting it out.
