A sore throat and cough can be soothed with natural health approaches that reduce inflammation and support immune function. Honey, known for its antimicrobial properties, coats the throat to ease irritation, while hydration with warm fluids like herbal teas keeps mucous membranes moist. Steam inhalation loosens mucus, aiding cough relief. Rest bolsters the body’s ability to fight infections, and nutrient-rich foods like bone broth provide essential vitamins. Avoiding irritants such as smoke or allergens prevents worsening symptoms. These methods, grounded in science, promote healing without relying on pharmaceuticals, offering effective, gentle relief for throat discomfort and cough.
