To ask for any tips to get rid of cough

[Foundationhelp]

Help! I’ve got an awful hacking wet cough- and I go on holiday in a week. Any top tips how to get rid of it please?

I don’t want it lingering and it’s so bad! 🙈

I'm not really sure how to get rid of a cough fully, other than time, hot drinks and rest (although, that's presuming it's a cold and not just a cough), but for a small break from coughing when you feel like you can't stop, try eating something. I keep mints around for when I can't stop coughing in the night and it seems to help a bit more than drinking water.

My grandma used to make honey and thyme lozenges for coughs and sore throats. She’d boil the honey with a few sprigs of thyme. Then she’d use a teaspoon and drop it out on baking paper. Once they cooled she’d dust them with cinnamon. They were actually quite nice!

Thyme tea , always works
Also , chop an onion put it in a clean jar, cover with honey , leave it overnight , take a tea spoon few times a day

Guaifenesin Is really good for productive viral coughs. You have to take it three times a day for a week consistently.

Thanks so much everyone I’m off to make / buy these ingredients. On reflection after I wrote this post I started with shivers and aches so I think it’s a bit more than a cough now 😢
