How to effectively treat a dry cough

The effective treatment methods for dry cough mainly include the following: 1. Drinking adequate water: Keeping the throat moist helps relieve dry cough symptoms. It is recommended to sip warm water slowly, avoiding large and rapid intakes of water. 2. Dietary therapy: Consuming foods with cough-relieving properties, such as pears and loquats, can be beneficial, as these foods are mild and do not irritate the respiratory tract. Traditional remedies such as pear jelly (Qiu Li Gao) and tremella with rock sugar porridge also have good effects in moistening the lungs and relieving cough. 3. Medication: Selecting appropriate medications based on the specific cause of the dry cough. If the dry cough is caused by a respiratory tract infection, antibiotics or antiviral drugs may be used. If the dry cough is allergy-related, antihistamines or anti-allergy medications are recommended. 4. Nebulizer therapy: Under a doctor's guidance, nebulizer treatments can moisten the airways, reduce coughing, and alleviate inflammation.
