Effective and safe folk remedies for the treatment of dry cough

Cough in itself is not a disease: it is a manifestation of the body's protective functions to damage the respiratory tract with bacteria.

When the bronchi and lungs are cleansed, phlegm should be released during coughing, but when nothing is expectorated for a while, this is a dry cough. This is a sign that the immune system alone does not cope with the disease, and therefore additional measures must be taken. Before you begin to treat a protracted and severe dry cough, you need to find out the reason for its appearance, so going to a therapist is an integral part of treatment. In most cases, people prefer non-drug treatment, as some drugs negatively affect other organs. Alternative methods of treating dry cough involve the use of drugs that irritate the cough center, after which sputum begins to stand out and the airways are cleared. This is how the body copes with viruses and bacteria in the trachea or bronchi.
