There are several other ways to treat COVID cough.
The NHS recommends, “To help ease a cough, try having a teaspoon of honey. But do not give honey to babies under 12 months. If this does not help, you could contact a pharmacist for advice about cough treatments.”
As per the health body, one should seek doctor’s assistance when suffering from COVID symptoms, rather than just going to the pharmacy.

“Over time, a cough can develop into a cycle, where excessive coughing causes irritation and inflammation, which worsens the cough. A dry cough may have no obvious cause and using the advice below will help to prevent this cough,” it adds.
In case the cough is ongoing, the healthy body further suggests seeking a physician’s advice. If left untreated, it can lead to shortness of breath, chest pain, breathing difficulties and more.
