When I have colds, surely cough will follow and most of the time it takes weeks to get rid of it from my body. I have been taking cough syrups and cold remedies but still it lingers. Hope to find natural remedies from you guys, I need your recommendations on what to do. Thank you in advance and have a nice day. Take care. God bless.

Hope you feel better soon! It seems like colds/flus take forever to get over these days. I drink a lot of water - or warm lemon and honey water - or water with apple cider vinegar. I stay away from dairy and sugar. A little bit of caffeine like coffee or green tea seems to help unstuff my nose or to stop coughing for a bit. We eat soups and throw lots of garlic in it. But that's what we do.

I think it is better to go to see a doctor. As you seem to take some medicine for some time but it doesn't work very well. Then perhaps a professional suggestion will be better.

I have taken herbal medicines as my last resort and warm water. I hate to take antibiotics.
