Health Tips: Has cold and cough increased during the festive season and changing weather? These 4 things in the kitchen are real cure

Home Remedies for Cough: There is excitement of the festival all around but the changing weather and dust can spoil your health. If you too are troubled by sore throat or dry cough, then before running to the doctor, try these magical solutions hidden in your kitchen.

The festive season brings happiness with itself but the change in weather, cold winds and increasing pollution at this time becomes a challenge for health. Often people ignore the initial cold and cough in the crowd and hustle and bustle, which later turns into a serious infection. The National Health Mission has also alerted people to recognize the symptoms and seek timely care.

Do not ignore these symptoms

If you are complaining of dry cough, constant prickling in the throat, heaviness in the chest or mucus, then understand that your body needs immediate treatment. This problem can increase further due to sweets and cold food during festivals.

Miracle of liquorice and cloves

If your cough is dry and your throat is scratched, then put a small piece of liquorice or clove in your mouth and chew it. Liquorice softens the throat membranes while the anti-bacterial oils of cloves eliminate infection.
