Colds and Flu Are Gone, But the Cough Won’t Stop? Here’s What to Do (Effective for Adults and Kids)
Why Coughs Linger After a Cold or Flu
As temperatures drop nationwide and dry, cold air sets in, respiratory illnesses like colds and flu surge. Hospitals—especially pediatric departments—are overwhelmed. While many recover using antiviral or symptom-relief medications (e.g., Mulberry-Chrysanthemum Cold Granules for adults, Honeysuckle Flu Relief Granules for adults, Dandelion and Isatis Anti-Inflammatory Oral Solution for all ages, or Pediatric Fever-Clearing Granules for kids), some patients, particularly infants and young children, continue to battle persistent coughs even after fever, sore throat, and congestion subside.
Risks of Chronic Coughing
Disrupts sleep, worsens mood, and impacts daily productivity.
Strains throat tissues, increasing vulnerability to reinfection.
Prolonged coughing stresses the chest, impairing blood circulation.
Why Coughs Persist After Recovery
Viral infections inflame upper respiratory mucosa, triggering coughs. Post-infection (3–4 days), weakened immunity—especially in children—often leads to secondary bacterial infections. Excess mucus and lingering inflammation worsen or prolong coughing.
Effective Relief Strategies
Improve air quality: Ventilate rooms, maintain humidity (40–60%), and avoid dry air.
Stay hydrated: Sip warm water or honey-infused drinks; hold liquids in the throat briefly to soothe irritation.
Dietary adjustments: Prioritize fresh vegetables; avoid fried foods, seafood, and other irritants.
Home remedy: Lightly fry a free-range egg in rice vinegar, add sugar, and eat once cooled. Consume twice daily (morning and evening) to ease coughing.
