A cough is kinda like a brother/best friend to catarrh and honestly, it’s one of the most embarrassing infection to have (my opinion though).
So, you know how you have to hold your chin up every now and then to keep back Mr cough from busting out loud amidst a group in the quietest and sane environment.
Anyway, here’s how it works, when there is a blockage or irritant in your throat or upper air passages, your brain thinks a foreign element is present and tells your body to cough to remove that element.
A cough can be as a result of a viral infection, common cold, flu, and smoking or health problems such as asthma, tuberculosis, and lung cancer and it comes with symptoms like itchy throat, chest pain, and congestion.
So, here are 4 homemade remedies to help you
