My friend has had a bad cough for a week, especially worse at night.





Saw a doctor and took medicine, but still not getting better.

Are there any good Chinese TCM herbal teas or drinks that can help him?

this one good?



Do whatever you can to avoid spicy and ice-cold food and drinks.


Also, try to stay out of air-conditioned or cold environments.

Cough 1 week only. Some ppl cough for months.

Go see doctor most likely will be given antibiotics. If still not recovered, bring that antibiotics to another clinic say not effective. The doctor will give another type of antibiotics

Your friend must be stubborn and still drank cold water and ate food not suitable for coughing. And he’ immune systm is compromised at his age.

After he recovers, tell him to go carnivore and eliminate junk from his diet. Also, always drink warm water (hotter the better) no matter how hot weather is or how thirsty you are.

Practicing carnivore and drinking warm water has kept me well and strong enough ever since I started. No sore throat, cough, sniffles or fever.

# Onion Honey Cough Syrup Recipe

**Ingredient** **Amount / Notes**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onion 1 medium-to-large, peeled and roughly chopped
Raw local honey Enough to fully cover the chopped onion
Jar with lid Clean, fits the onion and honey, should be no more than 3/4 full
Ginger (optional) Fresh, sliced or grated, for extra soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits
Thyme (optional) Fresh or dried, for respiratory support
Turmeric (optional) Fresh or powder, anti-inflammatory and immune support

---

### **Instructions**

1. **Prepare Ingredients**: Chop the onion. Add optional ingredients like ginger, thyme, or turmeric if using.
2. **Combine in Jar**: Place ingredients in the jar and pour honey to cover.
3. **Infuse**: Let sit in a cool, dark place for 24 hours to 4 days.
4. **Fermentation Note**: Slight fizziness is okay (natural fermentation). Don’t use if it smells "off."
5. **Use Early Option**: Start using after 30 minutes by skimming syrup from the top if urgently needed.
6. **Strain or Leave In**: Strain syrup into another clean jar, or leave everything in and use together.
7. **Storage**: Label and refrigerate for up to 2 months.

---

### **Dosage**

**Age Group** **Dosage**
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adults 1–2 teaspoons, 3–6 times per day
Children (under 10) ½ adult dose

> **Usage Tip**: Sip slowly and let it coat your throat. Try to move it toward the back where nasal drainage occurs. Shake or stir before each use.

It stops your running nose which means you wont have to deal with backflow while lying down at night, which tickles your throat and makes you cough.

*not a doctor

and they never thought it's actually wrong to coughing like that rclxub.gif

if my cough persists over a day, i'm looking for natural remedies already
and after natural remedies but no improvement after 3 days, i'm gonna start considering going to doctor already

My runny nose and cough subside close to 2 weeks; almost everyday take antibiotics, plus 1000mg Vit C and cough syrup given by both private (week 1) and govt hospital (week 2)

I also wear a mask as usual as cough will trigger in air-cond environment; incl in car

This works for me. And only because I improved my blood circulation. Aka, exercise, get hot, get in the sunshine.(Important to note, it is not a continuous baked in the sun, do it like gym reps... 1 minute or 30 secs, and cool down. Continue for 30cycle.

Otherwise even drugs prescribed by western doc also does not work.

I love the sun's ray hitting on my chest. Feels like the super man moment in boovie.





Edit. What ever you can do... avoid spicy and ice cold drinks and food. Get out of AC winter conditions.

Dry or wet?

Wet = Guaifenesin
Dry = Dextromethorphan

Can consider antihistamine like Diphenhydramine if the above is useless - I try to avoid using it though

Cough got so many possible causes

The first you want to identify is whether its a dry/wet cough. Dry cough means no coloured phlegm, normally due to irritation (e.g. post nasal drip). Wet cough got colored phlegm, which means caused by infection and normally means got infection in lungs.

Just go to doctor to get it properly diagnosed. Using the wrong medication for the wrong cause of cough can make things worse.

Lung infection.
Just go to clinic and get the antibiotics.

What I'm trying to say I already suffered enough when I was caught with non stop cough. Not gonna imagine the situation if I am a smoker.
