I'm amazed people are recommending conventional medicines here when this is in the Alternative Medicine section.\n\nIt's really important with coughs to make sure there is expectoration. Do not give cough suppressants ever. \n\nThe best home remedy is to rub Vicks Vaborub (or something similar) on her chest and throat area - and cover it. \n\nAlso steam inhalations will help break up tough mucous. Boil some water (put some Vicks or eucalyptus in it) and put a towel over her head with her head directly above the hot water/eucalyptus and tell her to breath slowly and deeply. Do this for about 10 minutes a couple times a day. Keep her well hydrated. Let her rest properly (don't send her to school until it's resolved - if it's as bad as you say).\n\nDon't mess around with homeopathic remedies unless prescribed by a homeopath who's taken the case properly.\n\nHope she's better soon.

My Great Grandma used to make an elixir of Honey and lemon juice in a cup and have us stir it with a spoon then lick it off to control coughing.  It works for a sore throst.  Also She was a firm believer in Vicks vapor rub to cure nasal and chest congestion.  YOu have to put it under your nose, all over your chest and back then wear a tshirt to bed with a bandana around your neck.  It also works good for muscle pain too.

Honey is a good cough suppressant, there are lots of teas that are quite effective available at any grocery store. Humidifiers help greatly overnight and hard-tac candies can be effective as they keep your throat moisturized.

green tea infused with sliced ginger root and a bit of honey will relieve some of the symptoms, though not heal you any more quickly. \n\nZicam is awesome, and works well.

when my daughter was 7 months old she had an ear infection.I had her to the doctor two times still didn't cure it.I used granny's home remedies again. a fresh clove of garlic diced very small put in a jar and cover with olive oil let set over night,shake the jar twice the next day.Then strain and put the oil in a covered container and keep in the fridge.I gave my daughter 1/4 teas. every 4 hours and warmed some and dropped into her ear.After 1 day of this the next morning she coughed up quite a bit of flem from her lungs.She stopped pulling at her ear that same day.! Also if you know a smoker.have someone gently blow(puff) cigarette smoke in her ear and cover immediately with a warm towel I don't know how that cures it but I have seen it done many many times! Instant cure!

I'm not so sure there is a way to make it go away in a few hours. But there are ways to lessen the symptoms.\n\nDrink hot drinks such as teas, bouillon, or hot lemon and honey.\n\nUse zinc lozenges to help with your throat and soothe your cough.\n\nUse steam: That will help with the congestion. There have been a few times when I had bronchitis, and that was the only thing that would clear my stuffy nose and stop it from running.\n\nAnd at the first opportunity- SLEEP.\n\nGood luck, and feel better.

well if you have any other medical conditions(hypertension or diabetes) you should ask your pharmacist or md.  if the cough is productive go with guaifesin (like plain mucinex) this will thin the mucous. also drinking plenty of water will help.  if you have a dry cough and it is interfering with work or sleep a DM product will help.  the dextromethoraphan will suppress your cough.  hope this helps!

* Drink lot's of water (8-12 glasses). Make sure the water is room temperature to warm. Water is a very effective remedy for laryngitis because it helps to lubricate the larynx (voice box).   \n* Add fresh lemon to your tea and drink as many cups as you want. The lemon will help loosen mucus in throat. \n* An effective home remedy for laryngitis is to mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in half glass of warm water. Drink every hour for seven hours. \n*Another excellent remedy for laryngitis is made from onion syrup, honey and lemon. To make the onion syrup: slice three large onions and put them in four or five cups of water; simmer until syrupy; strain. Next, put five or six tablespoonful of the syrup into a glass of warm water, along with a tablespoon of honey and a dash of lemon. Sip slowly. \n* Avoid talking for a while. if you have to speak then do it quietly. Its better to speak quietly than to whisper.
