A consultant in cardiology and arterial catheterization, Dr. Khaled Al-Nimr, explained that one of the causes of dry cough is having a sore throat or chest and inhaling a cough substance such as dust or smoke.
Al-Nimr pointed out that certain diseases such as asthma, chronic airway obstruction, esophageal reflux disease and heart disease (in rare cases) are among the causes.
He recommended the use of some home remedies that have soothing properties for dry cough, including honey, turmeric, ginger, garlic, guava leaves, salt water gargle, and licorice.
