There are several natural remedies that can help soothe a cough. Here are some tips from the search results:

• Drink plenty of fluids: Drinking fluids can help relieve dryness in your throat, a common cause of coughing. It also helps to thin out mucus, which can ease coughing and congestion. Sipping hot liquids like broth or tea may be great for easing coughing.

• Use a cool-mist humidifier or vaporizer: This can help soothe an irritated throat and loosen mucus.

• Have some honey: Honey can help ease a cough. You can swallow a spoonful of honey or add it to a hot drink, such as an herbal tea. However, do not give honey to children under 12 months.

• Try over-the-counter remedies: Look for medicine that contains soothing ingredients such as aloe or menthol. If its hard to get the mucus out, or if it’s thick, look for medicine that says “expectorant.” That loosens the gunk to help you get rid of it.

• Ginger: Ginger may ease a dry or asthmatic cough, as it has anti-inflammatory properties. You can eat ginger raw, or you can mix ground ginger root with honey and stir into hot tea.

• Breathing in steam: This may help with coughing because it calms and moisturizes your airways. You can also add essential oils like peppermint to the water for extra comfort.

• Saltwater gargles: Gargling with salt water can help soothe a cough.

• Avoid irritants: Avoid smoke and other irritants, as well as allergens like mold or pet dander.

It is important to note that if you have a cough with fever or shortness of breath, you should call your doctor. Also, check with them before you use cough medicine for serious conditions like emphysema, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, or asthma. And don’t give cough and cold medicine to children under 4.
