How to cure a cough

When treating coughs (and colds in general), first of all, it is important to ensure plentiful and frequent drinking. This is necessary in order for your body to be able to restore the water balance disrupted by the disease. Also, the liquid (especially warm) helps to dilute sputum. In other words, if you have a cold, you should drink as much as you can. If you have a cough, sore throat, pharyngitis, etc., it is necessary to take water of alkaline-mineral origin (for example, Borjomi), since their chemical composition contributes to easier sputum secretion, as well as accelerated recovery.

In addition, it is recommended to enrich the diet with high–calorie, but light food, and also include vitamins in their natural form - fruits and vegetables.

For the treatment of cough, it is useful to conduct a course of inhalation of the respiratory tract. Inhalations are useful for older children and adults. Inhalation is contraindicated for children under the age of three or four, as they may experience a suffocation attack. Inhalations can be prepared from various kinds of herbal infusions and the like: for example, a tablespoon of mother-and-stepmother leaf, sage, thyme or chamomile is poured with boiling water in a large bowl or vessel; in this infusion, add one teaspoon of baking soda and a few drops of eucalyptus or menthol oil. This type of inhalation is performed several times a day.

If the cough is accompanied by viscous sputum, then, most likely, it is not an ordinary cold, but tracheitis or bronchitis. In this case, it is necessary to take medications that help dilute sputum: various kinds of mucolytic and expectorant agents. Many medicines of this kind are available not only for children, but also for adults. Doctors also recommend paying attention to those medicines that are based on substances of plant origin. Mucolytic drugs make sense to use in cases where there is sputum, but it is viscous and therefore difficult to come out. Expectorant drugs are also taken if little sputum is excreted during coughing (a scant amount of sputum). These products are stimulating substances for the secretion of sputum by the bronchial glands, which makes it more liquid. In addition, expectorants enhance the cough reflex, which helps to release phlegm from the respiratory tract more quickly in bronchitis, tracheitis or colds.
