How Can Cough And Throat Discomfort Be Treated?
I have a cough, clear drainage, scratchy/tickling throat and my voice is deep. I feel like I have congestion just sitting at the base of my throat. I just started the cough on Saturday(3 days ago) after I came back from vacation- road on an airplane. Would Mucinex work?

Hi welcome to HCM
Dear , condition as yours arises due to pollution , change of weather or consuming hot drinks and cold drinks immediately after each other causing inflammation in your throat .
Gargling with warm salt water is a known treatment for sore throats can help soothe a sore throat and break down secretions. It's also known to help kill bacteria in the throat.
licking Honey with ginger juice or powdered cinnamon or cardamom or black pepper are very effective remedies to soothe scrachy tickling throat and relieves from discomfort of cough and runny nose .
By retaining A pinch of salt at the base of your throat and mouthful of hot water gives relief very fast . Rest and sleep also gives relief
A T spoon of turmeric powder in a cup of hot milk at bed time works wonders in curing the trouble .
Lot of hot water should be consumed to eradicate the toxins from your body
and help fast recovery .
Hope this helps solve your query .
In case problem persists consult your doctor .
