Prolonged cough can be managed with few home remedies and a ivy leaf extract cough syrup.take a lot of fluids,particularly warm. A teaspoon (5 grams) of honey in warm water is a good home remedy.Take an anti allergin along with a cough syrup.
Quit smoking if you are a smoker.A cough caused by acid reflux can often be treated with lifestyle changes alone. This includes eating smaller, more frequent meals; waiting three to four hours after a meal before lying down; and elevating the head of the bed at night.
