Coughs can be very persistent. Coughs can happen to anyone for multiple reasons. It may be a symptom of a throat infection caused by a bacterial infection or it may be an allergic reaction to the environment or some specific food Honey is well accepted way of providing cough relief. One way to us it effectively is to combine it with the curative properties of the onion. To get rid of an irritating cough, pour 2 teaspoons of honey on a freshly cut slice of onion. Cover it and let is lie for four to five hours. Then take one teaspoon of this honey after removing the onion piece. You will find immediate relief. Repeat the second teaspoon after three to four hours. A persistent allergic cough is very irritating. It dies not seem to go away easily and keeps the patient irritated all day long. If you can't find a cause, try this cure. Take a guava (fruit) and bake it in an oven. Eat this baked guava once a day for three to four days and you will find substantial relief.

Cough and cold preparations with the active ingredient guaifenesin are my cough and cold preferred over-the-counter products. It is especially good when the lung and bronchial secretions are thick and difficult to cough up. It loosens the viscosity of the secretions. Commonly available products containing guaifenesin are Robitussin cough medicine and Mucinex (and their generic equivalents). Guaifenesin is made from the guaiac tree and the ingredient has been used for hundreds of years by Native Americans.

The best way I've found is to use a medicine with guaifenesin in it. For example, many cough medicines have this as the main active ingredient, such as Robitussin, generic equivalents of Robitussin and Mucinex tablets. These will likely have "expectorant" on the label (but not always).

Guaifenesin in an expectorant that thins and loosens the lung congestion to help you cough up the sputum. It is a very old and trusted expectorant that was originally discovered and used by Native Americans. It is a natural ingredient made from the guaiac tree and long proven safe and effective.

Read the ingredients on the product labels to find the ones that have that as the primary active ingredient or ask your pharmacist to assist you to find one. It is also sometimes called glyceryl guaiacolate.

Guaifenesin is pronounced: gwīˈfenəsin

If the cough is more of a tickle in the throat and there is not thick sputum to cough up, then there are many OTC cough preparations available, or you can make a home remedy by:

Boiling some water. Soak a tea bag in the water for 5 seconds. Add Orange Juice and a little spice of your choice like cinnamon or ginger, then mix in some honey. If you are old enough, add a very little amount of whiskey, brandy, or other drinking alcohol too (most liquid cough preparations contain some alcohol to help you rest).

Guaifenesin, which is an active ingredient in many cough medicines. It is an expectorant to help loosen secretions so you can cough them up. If you are talking about nasal mucus drainage, ask the pharmacist for suggestions.
