Thank you

Answer 1

green tea with honey, lollipops, popsicles... anything that will keep her throat moist... when her throat is dry she coughs more!

good luck : )

Answer 2

First your friend should call the doctors office. If her cough is severe she really needs to see a good doctor. Maybe and ENT even. (Ears Nose & Throat)

No home remedy will help a severe cough.

Remember if she had never seen this doctor before he is going to start out with the weakest cough medicine. That is protocol. She should go back-it could be walking pneumonia or something else. Do not let this continue, it is not normal.

Answer 3

90% cocoa dark chocolate- It is very bitter but the theobromine in the chocolate is a powerful cough suppressant. 2 oz is usually enough for adults, 1 oz for kids.

Answer 4

k, put honey in a bowl and warm it up for 10 seconds. Mix it with lemon juice, freshly squeezed. Take a tea bag and dip it once it cold water. Take a cup and squeeze the tea bag as much as possible. Mix the tea bag extract with the honey lemon. Put it in a ice cube holder thingy. Freeze it over night and you have fresh cough drops.

Answer 5

Natural substances which help coughs include: almond milk, cooked cabbage, elecampane, ginseng, horehound, lemon, licorice, marshmallow root, mullein, onion, and valerian.

Try to include as many of these as possible.  For instance, cabbage soup with onion, ginseng and marshmallow root tea with lemon, almond milk with a few drops of valerian tincture.

Answer 6

Well i know these few tricks my mother used to do to me when i was sick. Squeeze about three teaspoons lemon juice into a cup. add a teaspoon of honey to it. warm it up and mix it. It should be liquidy(more lemon than honey) you could add some ginseng for flavor. You could also try making your favourite tea and crushing whole raspberries into it. it really helps sooth your throat. good luck with the cough

Answer 7

get a cup of milk and put some honey in it and put in microwave for a minute and mix it up should be really good and helps the throat deff try that.. forget the alcohol stuff.. from other comments... alcohol just takes the nutriotion from the cells... and you need the nutrition never use alcohol for anything when sick

Answer 8

honey and lemon mixed together

Answer 9

Its not exactly natural but I like to drink hot toddies.  That is hot tea with lemon, sugar, and Jack Daniels.  Don't do it to get intoxicated, but the vapors from the alcohol and tea really help a cough and congested chest.

Answer 10

Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar with honey and sip it frequently. Put Vick's vapor rub on her chest and on the bottoms of her feet with socks. Sounds crazy, but people swear by it. Sleep with a humidifier next to the bed.
