How to get rid of a cough?

• I've had a bit of a sore throat for the past couple of days and I've also got a cough Yesterday it'd kinda hurt when I coughed properly so I just kind of coughed inside if that makes sense Today, my sore throat has gone (I think) and I feel a lot better - the only problem is that I still have the cough I don't have to keep coughing or anything but when I do cough, all of the stuff is there in my throat and it won't like come out if you know what I mean. It's like a build up of stuff when I cough I can do mini coughs and i'm fine, but when I do a proper cough try and clear my throat I get all of the stuff in my throat How do I get rid of the cough?

• Answer:

  There is no way to cure a cold but but to help with the cough i recommend having plenty of fluids preferably warm (eg warm water, warm water with honey and lemon etc) try to avoid dairy products as this can cause more mucus to be produced. to try to reduce the risk of becoming ill again try echinacea, and vitamin c suppliments. also wash your hands regularly and try to maintain a healthy balanced diet and avoid smoking. hope this helps and hope you feel better soon
