To answer this question, it is necessary to determine the type of this phenomenon. There are two varieties of it: wet and dry. Dry is called a hard, barking cough without sputum production. Wet is characterized by the fact that when coughing up mucus appears. In the presence of dry, our task is to transfer it to wet as soon as possible. How to do this?

This broth is universal. It can be used both internally and used for grinding.
Honey helps with coughing, especially when combined with citrus fruits.
