how to stop a cough naturally?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: It depends on the cause of the cough. Most acute coughs are due to viral infections, but coughs can also be caused by allergies, tuberculosis, cancer etc. 
Presuming you are talking about an acute infection, my favorite treatments are the herb pellargonium sidoides (sold as umcka) & homeopathy. A good article on homeopathy for coughs is http://homeopathyplus.Com.Au/coughs-and-how-to-treat-them/.

Question 3

which is a good way to stop a cough?

Accepted Answer

Cough: In general, a symptom of coughing can first be addressed by over the counter measures. Cough specific syrups or tablets are readily available. Decongestant medicines can help if the cough is related to sinus drainage. Giving the cough ample time to clear is advisable but if you develop fevers, shortness of breath, chest pains, or bloody sputum, it may be time to see your doctor.

Question 4

what can stop acute cough in children?

Accepted Answer

Identify trigger : There are many reasons for cough and the treatment depends on the cause of the cough.

Accepted Answer

Pray not: I know it's irritating since people keep asking if your sick or they just move away from you.  Also, it leads to poor sleep if it goes into the night.  Coughing can be caused by lots of problems.  It may be from an issue with the nose, voicebox, lungs or simply appear and persist (annoyingly) after a viral cold. Check with your regular doc for initial guidance.
