The doctor told how to cure a dry cough with the help of simple remedies and products.
The disease does not give up
Very often, colds and flu have a complication in the form of a dry, hysterical cough. Moreover, it is often aggravated precisely at night or in a dry room where heating devices work well. Pulmonologist Ekaterina Goltsova told how to soothe a dry cough at home and without medication.
– First of all, I advise you to increase the humidity in the house or apartment. Boil a pot of water, ventilate the room, spray the floor and walls with water from a spray bottle. But the best way to cope with this task is a modern ultrasonic humidifier, says the physician.
Cough – fight
If the humidity in the apartment is sufficient, but the cough still torments you or the household, then you should resort to traditional medicine methods. They have been tested by more than one generation of Russians. So, some will definitely have a beneficial effect on the lungs and bronchi.
