Cough syrups tend to suppress the cough and further prevent the clearance of such passages. While facing such mundane ailments it is always advised to opt for homemade remedies which offer short tem reliefs without an interference with the body’s healing ability.

One such formula for relief as per home remedies includes the golden syrups. These golden syrups can be easily prepared by anyone with basic ingredients that are available in most households. The syrup can be made by mixing one tablespoon of honey and lemon juice. Add to this a drop of malt vinegar and see the change in your cough patterns. The intensity of cough would be greatly reduced.

Put these ingredients together in a bottle. Take at least one tablespoon of the mixture in every three hours. The mixture would help soothe the dry as well as rasping cough. Mixture cannot be called a sedative and therefore may be taken as per requirement. It would also not have additional side effects of sleep or discomfort while working.
