How do you get rid of a throaty cough?

Answer 1

Never fails: Heat. Apply a heating pad over your bronchial tubes (and your lungs and upper resperatory tract, too, if your heating pad is large enough) and get them as warm as you can for as long as you can. Then drink hot water, and get under an electric blanket if you can, and burn it out.

There's a reason mustard packs and Vicks Vaporub on the bronchial tubes have always been popular remedies. But the heating pad does the trick without the stink or the expense.
