The past few days I've had Laryngitis and Pharyngitis. They're both pretty much gone now though, but I am left with this really bad, annoying cough. It is like a tickle in my throat, so when l breathe in or talk l just start coughing and can not stop. and l have not stopped for like 12 hours. PLEASE, is there anything that will get rid of it?

make some hot tea with honey in it and chug cup after cup till the cough is gone,takes about 7 cups

It soothes an irritated throat & relieves chest congestion & phlegm. The bad news: it tastes terrible -- it really does -- but if u have a persistant cough, it is worth a try.

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons water
Mix & take by the teaspoon.
The recipe does not indicate how much to take. l took 3 teaspoons the first time because l had a bad dry cough for over three weeks, & l was desparate for some relief. It worked & l got a good night is sleep. l have been recommending it to others ever since, & many have confirmed my positive results.

Consider the beneficial effects of the individual ingredients:

Ginger (zingiber officinale) has long been used & recommended for arthritis & bursitis, because it is a natural anti-inflammatory. According to Home Herbal, by Penelope Ody, D.K. Publishing, June 1995, ginger is a natural antihistamine. It has also been used for for motion sickness & nausea, & in addition, it is known for relieving chest congestion, according to Dr. Andrew Weil, Herbal Medicine Chest http://cgi.pathfinder.com/drweil/herbal/medchest

Cayenne (capsaicin) reduces pain, according to Herbs for Health & Healing, by Kathi Keville, Rodale Press, Emmaus, PA, 1996. The same substance that makes cayenne peppers hot relieves the pain by suppressing a chemical that carries the pain message from nerves in the affected area to the brain. According to Home Herbal, by P. Ody, cayenne is warming & stimulating, it is a good cold remedy & eases chills & will even ease the lingering pain from shingles.

Vinegar has so many healthful uses. Vinegar: Ancient Medicine & Popular Home Remedy in Connections Quarterly, Summer 1998 Issue.

Honey, according to Home Herbal by P. Ody, will draw pus & poisons out of wounds & it is useful for relief from colds.

Water is probably added to make it less strong tasting but it is still strong!
l keep the mixture in the refrigerator after l make it but l do not know if it is necessary.

drink something warm like warm tea, coffee, tea and honey, some say vinager will help. Good luck..
