There are two types of cough, a dry, dry cough and a wet, mucus-carrying cough. Depending on the type of cough, there are various natural remedies to get relief.
\n\n<\/p>\n
A wet cough is the body's reaction to clear mucus that has accumulated in the airways. This cough is usually caused by colds or allergies.
A dry cough, on the other hand, does not serve to clear mucus and merely irritates the throat. A dry irritating cough is usually caused by smoke, dust or other external irritants.<\/p>\n
An infection in the airways or an allergic reaction causes the upper airways to swell and produce mucus. If too much mucus builds up, the body expels it by coughing. It is therefore important not to suppress mucus-producing coughs, but rather to promote mucus clearance. The faster the mucus is released, the less the body has to cough.
Sucking on horehound or sage sweets helps to loosen mucus. Candies with lemon are also good.
Topical products such as Wick VapoRub contain cough-relieving essential oils that are inhaled when applied to the chest area. They can be used for both forms of cough, as they have an expectorant effect on wet coughs and a soothing effect on dry coughs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If you have a dry cough, you should try to soothe the irritation in the throat area and protect the throat from irritation.
Traditional cough drops contain a gel-like substance that soothes the throat area and thus relieves the irritation caused by coughing. Traditional lozenges also increase saliva production in the mouth and thus lead to increased swallowing, which helps to suppress the cough.<\/p>\n
Tea infusions with soothing herbs such as sage or camomile have a gentle and healing effect on the throat. The hot liquid promotes the expulsion of sleep.<\/p>\n
If your throat is already raw and painful from coughing, you can try a different coughing technique. As soon as you feel the cough, you can force yourself to make several small coughs, which are gentler on the throat. Only at the end of the series of coughs can you let out the big cough. The series of small coughs pushes the mucus towards the windpipe so that it is all expelled at once with the last cough.
This method is also gentle on the throat in the case of a dry irritating cough.<\/p>\n
If you cough a lot at night, you should humidify the air in your bedroom. Increased humidity reduces the irritation caused by a dry cough and promotes the expulsion of mucus in the case of a wet cough.<\/p>\n
The cough should usually subside after ten days at the latest. If it has not improved significantly after two weeks or if you are coughing up blood, you should see a doctor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
