Suggest Remedy For Cough

I am tired all the time, my head feels like it is in a fog. I choke half the time I eat, if something just touches the back of my throat, my throat starts to close up making me gasp for air. I have an annoying cough that comes and goes. And when I exert myself, my chest hurts.

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic, as per your query, here are some remedies for cold and sore throat.
1.Saltwater gargle- gargling several times a day with warm salt water can reduce swelling in the throat and loosen mucus, helping to flush out irritants or bacteria.Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in one cup of water. Just remember to spit the water out after gargling, rather than swallowing.
2.You can take acetaminophen or paracetamol,it helps to reduce swelling and pain.
3.Lozenges and spray-Sucking on cough drops stimulates saliva production, which can help keep your throat moist
4.Honey, ginger paste taken with hot milk is good for cough reduction.
