The dry cough is a very common problem that causes irritation and burning in the throat and trachea. It is nothing but a symptom that may occur as a result of different causes: viral infections, allergies, toxic substances such as smoking, etc…
In this guide we will see how to cure a dry cough when it becomes too insistent, and does not allow us to rest well or safely perform our daily activities.
First, we must understand the cause that triggered the cough. If it is just a viral infection, this will definitely by itself after a few days, when the immune response has done its duty. If the cough is persistent, it is good to make a visit to your primary-care physician which once identified the cause will prescribe a medicine cough suppressant or an antihistamine (if it is an allergy).
The drugs are the most popular Lisomucil, the Bronchenolo or NEOBOROCILLINA and contain dextromethorphan. Since the dry cough also causes a burning sensation in the throat, you can integrate for a few days of self-medication drugs, honey or candy specific to reduce discomfort.
When you have the cough is recommended to drink often and a lot, especially herbal teas, hot soups and warm milk. In particular, the milk with honey can make significant immediate relief thanks to the properties of the honey. So, before you rely on the drug, it would be better to try natural remedies.
Besides honey, we can try with infusions made from mauve or syrups with propolis, also useful for fighting a sore throat. Even essential oils eucalyptus spreads on throat and chest can be very effective for cough. These methods are more suitable for the productive cough, but they can also help to soften dry cough.
Finally, we must remember that it is often the cause of the smoke of our dry cough. In this regard, the methods we proposed can alleviate the symptom, but the cough will still be inevitable. For this, you should avoid smoking or be in places where smoking is present.
If we just cannot do without cigarettes, but we must be careful not to smoke in an environment where children are present because they are more exposed episodes of bronchitis and may suffer from persistent dry cough already small.
