What is the best cure for persistent cough? -

My mom has been coughing for more than 3 weeks. I ve taken her to see 3 doctors but it still not cured. My mom is also diabetic, hypertension and heart problem. Anyone out there who knows the best natural way to cure it, fast??

I know it ll sound funny...but... it works.. MAKE sure this is not going to interfere or make her worse w/ her diabetes though.. since it is honey it might bring her sugar up a slight bit. Cut an onion in rounds... put in a small bowl.. pour Honey..YEs honey on it.. cover the onion in honey.. let it sit couple hours till the liquid from the onion is released and mixes w/ the honey.. Drink that liquid mixture a teaspoon at a time... I used to work in telemarketing so my throat was Always sore.. someone told of this..thought they were nuts till it worked for me.........GL.. Please..Make sure you check she is ok to take honey because of her diabetes.

Persuade her to get a chest Xray immediately. Congestive heart problems can trigger coughing too. Your doctors know that. HOWEVER, something many doctors tend to minimize, or ignore---- If your mom is taking a rather common high blood-pressure medication called Ramipril or one of the associated meds of that type, THAT is most likely what is making her cough persistently. Tell her doctors to switch her to Atacand or a similar type of blood pressure medication instead, and the cough will go away within a couple of weeks. By the way, the vapour from a few drops of eucalyptus oil in hot water breathed in will help a lot.

this really works n is practiced in my family for ages...its kinda difficult..bt u get immediate cure....grind 2-3 inches of ginger n 2-3 clove of garlic...squeez the juice..mix it wid honey n drink...continue this till she feels better

her heart problem can cause it ,some of heart problems cause a condition called cardiac asthma. also some drugs for hypertension can cause dry cough e.g ACE inhibitors.

Don t know what meds your mom is taking for hypertension, but I tool Lisinopril for a while and had the absolute worst cough you could imagine. It kept me up at night, and I could hardly have a conversation without coughing in someone s face. Very embarrassing and annoying... so check that angle. Best of luck.

Any cough persisting more than a week,should be evaluated by a physician. Check out for more remedies and information.
