What is the fastest way to cure a cough?

Question

Thanks for answering!

Answer 1

Plenty of rest, water and whole garlic...not the powered kind. Chew 1-2 cloves before bed time. If your cough has lasted longer than 2 weeks and/or if it's accompanied by a fever, you need to see your Dr.

Answer 2

Death.

But, then again that cure is worse then the symptom.
Other then the typical OTCs (Over The Counter) medicines, I would say lots of fluids and plenty of rest.

Resting in an upright position is usually the best compromise for a good nights rest while dealing with a bad cough.

Of course, there is no better cure than seeing your doctor, which I would suggest.

The fastest way a doctor can cure your cough is to administer a steroid shot during the visit and then a steroid pack to follow up. It''ll knock that cough out every time.

Good luck and hope you feel better, as this is something that I know all too familiarly.

Answer 3

You can't "cure" a cough.
A cough is a symptom.

Figure out what is causing it. Cold, phlegm, alergy, foreign object, piece of food etc ? Then when you treat that your cough will go away.


edit: don't get a shot! Getting steriods for a COUGH is ridiculous. Everyone gets coughs at some point in their lives and we need to do whats called DEAL WITH IT. Unless it is due to some sort of medical problem, then and only then I could understand getting heavy duty medications for it.

Answer 4

The fastest and cost free way to cure a cough to boil all hot spices that you store in your kitchen for quick relief. Take 5 grains of black pepper, 2 clove flakes, small piece of cinnamon stick, 7 basil leaves and a piece of ginger and boil them together with 200 ml water. Dink this boiled mixture three times a day to get rid of your cough. Inhale steam three times a day and drink hot water. Avoid cold drinks, icecream, sour fruits, yoghurt and buttermilk. Milk should be taken adding a tea spoon of turmeric powder boiled together before drinking. Avoid air-conditioned spaces and cover your body with warm clothes during winter. Stop eating sugar and replace it with sugar free tablets until one recovers from the disorder. Also one must try to sneeze by tickling nostrils with the help of tooth pick or clean paper roll to remove excess cough from the head to avoid headache. Remover all tooth brushes from the Bath Room so that the cockroaches do not get chance to put their mouth on them during night to spread the disease among other members in the family and keep them separately in bed room or other dry place in the house. Change your toothbrush every after three months and brush your teeth and clean your tongue without fail before going to bed at night. Correct your bowel movements if you are constipated for the mucus to pass in stool and it is most important in all kinds of diseases and disorders to correct constipation in the first place. Take care and be in good health.
