Home Remedies for Covid Cough and Sore Throat. Helpful Tips on What to Do During Home Isolation...

What To Do If You Have Covid COUGH and Sore Throat?
Fifty to 70 percent of people with symptomatic COVID-19 will develop a dry cough..
The cough tends to come on quickly, beginning about a day or so after the onset of illness, may linger for quite sometime especially for those who aren’t vaccinated…
Most Mild covid patients will also develop scratchy throat that eventually can develop into a severe throat…
More than 20 symptoms have been identified by those exposed to Omicron, But experts are suggesting that one symptom in particular could warn you that you've caught the virus before a positive Covid test and that is Sore throat.
What then can we do at home to alleviate our Omicron symptoms of cough and sore throat while in Home Isolation?

I have also been gargling salt water for sore throat all of my life and it works!

[@connielabarr2249]

Thank you for your suggestions. I am 78 and having problems with the cough, irritated throat, and mucus in my lungs. It’s still a problem even after getting Covid nearly 3 weeks ago. (Vaccinated and boosted) Raised head and ginger tea has really helped. I’ve never smoked in my entire life and eat a plant based diet, but this virus really went after my normally healthy lungs! Still a mild case, but very annoying, so thanks for the help.

[@michaelwright1467]

Hang tough! Remember, everybody's system is different. You chances are considerably better if you are 50 and below. I am in my 60;s. Caught it and suffered chest and throat pain for 2 months even after I tested negative. Its been 4 months now since it left me. I am now much better with the signs having disappointed notably. Keep taking the boosters and live well.

[@lydiapetra1211]

Hi guys...iam plant based too....first I had the worst sore throat...but constant gargling with salt and the knock off Listerine helped but since yesterday....this nonstop persistent cough.....it's awful.... never had anything like this in my life.....I used Swedish bitters to gargle with.....at night but that didn't do anything.....gargled with the Listerine.....raised my head....man...this omicron is no joke....Lord have mercy on all of us and heal us quickly 🙏🙏🙏

Vaccinsted or not makes no difference. We still are getting really sick out here. Even the very healthy without underlined issues. The honey and lemon tea helps tremondously. I also took one clove of garlic raw with a quarter teaspoon of honey for a natural power punched antibiotic/antiviral hit.

Thanks very much Dr. I got dry cough, sore throat, pains in muscles, and fever. I will follow your tips and quarantine my self.

[@whyme7400]

Thank you!! Most sensible advice I have heard for three years. I am already doing most of these things but being almost 79 it was reassuring to hear most of what I am experiencing is normal for this illness. Had all shots and boosters but got sick anyway. I think the best thing we did was avoid crowds and probably should continue to do so. Will always check out what you have to say if I ever get sick again.

[@angiekitson-harris4257]

Brilliant, thank you.

[@TheWorldWatches]

What works better than salt water is Italian Salad Dressing! I had a very bad sore throat and as many others did, I used salt water, But I really couldn't gargle it for some reason. After trying for several days and barely eating, I was craving a salad of tomatoes, cucumber and onions drenched in Italian salad dressing. This seemed to really help, and I believe it's because of the oil sticking to my throat, which helps sooth a very dry sore throat. In case anyone is wondering what brand of Italian Dressing I used, it's Ken's. Unlike the warm salt water, try Italian Dressing instead. Make a salad or have a little cup of Italian Dressing to drink. My belief is it works better the salt water because it sticks to your throat to coat it, where the salt water will wear off in a couple of seconds. Italian Dressing, who knew? And it tastes better, too!

[@CB-wq9wp]

I tried this, and it really helped! However, i got a different brand of Italian dressing, because Ken's contains MSG.

[@TheWorldWatches]

@@CB-wq9wp Thanks for letting me know about Ken's having MSG in there. I had no idea. It's probably why it tastes so good. Look at that, I received 9 likes on that comment!

Home town Honey is the BEST. 4. Strawberry Yogurt is cool and soothing. By Great Value at Wal-Mart 5. Keep a bottle of water next to me at all times because you never know when a sudden dry cough will attack. 6. Brush teeth. Get well soon everyone:) In Jesus name Amen

All good advice. The only one that really seemed to take the pain of the sore throat and coughing associated with BA.5 was Acetomenofin (Paracetamol in the UK). The rest offered temporary relief but still worth trying. The symptoms will likely last around 10 days so you have time!

[@TwoGendersOnly]

I tested positive two days ago. Yesterday I had chills fatigue and the worst headache.. and today the sore throat kicked in. It's awful. My head doesn't currently hurt thankfully. I also feel like I have diarrhea. I hope this shit goes away soon. 10 days seems like forever.

[@MKF30]

I have covid right now, first time ever had a minor sore throat days along with a headache days ago but now since yesterday(tested positive) my throat is in a lot of pain now, thankfully my fever dropped but my throat hurts when I swallow. When I have to cough it hurts it even more. I have had some camomile tea with honey that helped a little, I had an ice pop before that which on throat felt good and helped quenched my thirst but made me cough unfortunately due to the cold irritating my chest area. I've been taking tylenol every 6 hours which helps some pain and lowers my fever. But yeah so far for me that's the most painful and annoying thing!
