In these days when winter viruses are making their presence felt and coughs are constantly heard in homes, offices, and public transport, the BBC asks: Which is better for coughs? Lemon or medication?
Both have their advantages, but let’s suggest something else. This is a method that’s been tried and proven effective in Asia. For people with persistent coughs, the Asian method is lemon and ketchup. Add a little ketchup to a cut lemon, eat it, and wait. Repeat this throughout the day. Over time, you’ll see your cough subside.
This is a harmless method. It’s much better than constantly taking medication, and it has zero side effects. Try it, and if it doesn’t work, stop and try other methods.
