Abstract
Cough is a common symptom encountered in otolaryngology, often linked to various underlying conditions, including infections, allergies, and chronic respiratory issues. Effective management of cough requires a multifaceted approach incorporating natural and pharmacological remedies tailored to the underlying cause. This article explores the diverse natural remedies, such as herbal teas, honey, and steam inhalation, alongside pharmacological treatments like antitussives, expectorants, and corticosteroids. By examining the efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of these remedies, the study provides a comprehensive guide for otolaryngologists to optimize cough management. The discussion also highlights the importance of individualized care, patient education, and the potential for integrating complementary therapies into clinical practice.
