Keeping the body healthy and free from illness is one of the most important things of living. An unhealthy body tends to struggle with a good lifestyle. Cough and fever are some of the most frustrating types of illness I have experienced. My cough often come during winter seasons but I rarely have cough except if I am exposed to a serious Cold, while fever is a common illness to me. I get a fever often when I stress myself or overstress my mental health. I tend to take serious concerns about taking care of my health.

Personally, there are some types of general illnesses I have when I get exposed to something that my body is unattractive to. Most times My Cough is often caused by taking off too much cold substance, maybe when I get beaten by rain, or when I am exposed to dust, sometimes it comes with sneezing. I also get headaches from a long day of work, or if I do strenuous activities either mentally or physically. Both illnesses have a specific way I tackling them at home.
There are some home remedies I use to treat My Cough and Fever and trust me they work perfectly. Most times I use these home remedies to treat this sickness, and trust me from my experience they even work better than the drugs. It is normal to have a cough and treat it at home but when it gets persistent then the person needs to consult a doctor, the same thing to headaches.

My home remedy for cough is Ginger, garlic, and Warm water mixed with Lime. This has helped me in so many ways. My first encounter with this remedy was with my dad, he told me how it has helped him with severe cough then. How we mix this is by grinding the ginger and garlic or the person can also chew it, then slice and squeeze the lime water inside inside the warm water, then we are good to go.
While My Home Remedy for Fever is drinking a lot of Water and resting. This works most times for slight fever, but when it becomes persistent then I will have to use medications or consult a doctor. There are local herbs to treat this sickness in my community but I don’t use them, because I am always scared when it comes to fever. Sometimes when I have a fever, I try to take Garlic and it also works when I rest after taking the garlic.
Cough and Fever, are a common sickness that can be treated in our traditional ways or local remedies. I was brought up and trained on the use of local herbals to treat every sickness but as modernization grew, then I started adapting to Medications and consulting of drugs.
I will advise anyone after trying home remedies for the cough and fever, if it is persistent then you should consult a doctor.
