Lately, there are several people who have been reporting cases of viral infections, in which coughing is the major trouble along with a high fever that comes down in more than a week. However, the coughing is something that’s not going away and is turning into prolonged coughing that goes away after 4-6 weeks. Doctors are saying that this prolonged coughing is part of post-flu symptoms. This prolonged coughing can be due to pollution or air quality, which can weaken our immune system when there is long-term exposure. If you are also suffering from such coughing, then we have got some home remedies for you that are also proven by Ayurveda. Do try these remedies and let us know if they helped you out.

Honey and Ginger Tea

Ginger is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, while honey is a natural cough suppressant. For this remedy, boil a few slices of fresh ginger in water for a few minutes, then strain the tea, and add a tablespoon of honey to it. Drink this tea 2-3 times a day for best results.  

Turmeric Milk

It is one of the easiest ways to get rid of prolonged coughing, as turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. All you need to do is mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder with a glass of warm milk and drink it before bedtime. This milk is also known as Golden Milk, which has several other benefits.
