How to get rid of a bad cough after the flu?

Answer #1

If the cough is caused by phlegm then plenty of steam inhalation will help. Fill a basin or bowl with very hot water then put your head over the bowl & put a towel over your head to keep the heat in. A drop of Olbas oil added to the water help clear the stuffiness in your nasal passages too.

Answer #2

If the cough persists for more than 3 days, you’ll need to talk to a doctor and get some antibiotics. If it’s less time than that, you can just take some over the counter cough suppressants and get plenty of rest. Also drink lots of orange juice or take a calcium supplement.
