Good medicine for sore throat and cough naturally emphasizes soothing symptoms and supporting immunity. Honey coats the throat, reducing irritation and fighting bacteria. Warm teas or broths hydrate, thinning mucus for easier expulsion. Salt water gargles reduce swelling and clear pathogens. Rest strengthens immune defenses, while zinc lozenges shorten symptom duration. Humidifiers prevent airway dryness, and vitamin C from foods like bell peppers boosts immunity. These methods target inflammation and infection holistically, offering effective relief without synthetic drugs.
