Treating cough and congestion with folk remedies.

Inserting garlic cloves into the nostrils, covering the ears with a clean, damp cloth, or inhaling steam from vinegar water are some of the effective ways many people treat nasal congestion.

- Cut a clove of garlic into pieces roughly the size of your nostril, wrap them in a thin cloth, and insert them into your nostril. Alternatively, you can use a red onion, crush it, soak a clean cotton ball in the onion juice, and insert the cotton ball into your nostril for a short time to relieve congestion.

- Slice a few shallots or onions and boil them; using the steam to fumigate your nose is quite effective. You can substitute onions with vinegar.

- Before going to bed, take a clean cloth or handkerchief and soak it in hot water. Then wring it out so that the cloth is still warm, and place it over both ears for 10 to 15 minutes. Your nose will clear up again.

Use orange peel to treat coughs.

Boil tangerine peel with a little ginger powder and honey to make a drink; chop some fresh tangerine peel, add a little white sugar, and drink it like tea daily to effectively treat coughs.

Here are some simple folk remedies for coughs:
- Take about 5 grams of tangerine peel, boil it with 2 cups of water, add a little ginger powder and honey, and drink it while it's still hot.

- Take some fresh tangerine peel, chop it finely, add a little white sugar, and drink it like tea daily to treat coughs with phlegm.

- Specifically for young children with coughs: Slice a few radishes thinly and soak them in sugar water for several days. Each time, take a spoonful of this mixture, mix it with hot water, and wait until the water is lukewarm before giving it to the child to drink.

- Alternatively, you can use a spoonful of dried, ground sesame seeds, 6 grams of almonds, and a slice of fresh ginger. Put these ingredients into a pot, add 2 cups of water, and simmer. When using, take a spoonful of this mixture and mix it with a little honey to drink.

For children who have trouble sleeping due to coughing, take a thin slice of fresh ginger, dry it slightly, and gently rub it around their neck and shoulders to help them sleep soundly.
