How do you get rid of a dry, hacking cough?

Answer by  maverick32 (87)

Try drinking tea with honey, cough drops, or hard candy if it is a regular cold like dry cough. If you are a smoker, quitting is the most effective way to get rid of a cough brought on from smoke. If it's from allergies try allergy medicine and wearing a mask when vacuuming or dusting.

The most time-tested home remedy for coughs is a cup of hot tea, with lots of honey and lemon. Also, dry coughs often respond to warm steam. Sitting in a bathroom with the doors closed and the shower running hot is the simplest way to achieve a home setup.

Try REALLY hydrating yourself if it's dry. Also, try a shot glass full of olive oil. There are really good cough drops at the store called Fisherman's Friend that work.

"Dr Christopher's Original Formula Lung and Bronchial" has my endorsement for working quickly, even during bronchospasms!
