Needless to say, everybody coughs and it is therefore a normal occurrence. However, if you continue to cough for more than a week, you should visit a doctor right away.
Here’s a cough remedy that can help get rid of your problem within 24 hours. The ingredients are quite simple:
ü Three liters of water
ü One kilo of onions
With those two ingredients ready, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the onions by getting rid of the mustache. Make sure you wash them all well.
2. Cut the onions into quarters.
3. Put the three liters of water in a pot.
4. Add the onions in the pot.
5. Let the water boil until half of it (1.5 liters) evaporates.

You now have an onion tea. For better taste, you can add a spoonful of honey and juice from half a lemon. Make sure you consume 250 mL of the tea twice a day. The next day, your coughing will either lessen or completely go away.
