Dear Dr. Soumya,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for a beautiful blog with any pop ad windows (which is rare to find)for our natural Ayurveda medicine.

I need your suggestion on the persistence cough I am having since a week. Actually, my daughter (who lives in a hostel) recently visited me and had the same cough which we (my husband and I) are having now. It is wet cough with very minimal fever (sometimes at night). The phlegm is yellow and brown in color.

I would really appreciate if could provide me with some home remedies. I have taken ginger and honey but didn't see any change. Last night I have started chewing Tulsi leaves. My daughter's cough (almost 20 days) is still not gone completely. It is very difficult for me to sleep at night. At present it is 3.23 AM and I am unable to sleep due to cough.

Regards,
Vaishali

Hey Sowmya, these are very simple to prepare at home too... Thanks a ton for sharing!

Keep up the good work...
The best remedy to overcome nasal congestion is to use netipot or take a breathe with warm water shake. This antique solutions might works lately.
