Honey is a sugar-rich food and not a medicine. It cannot cure a cough and has no quick effect on coughing, so cough medicine should not be used indiscriminately for patients with cough. Cough is only a symptom of the respiratory tract and can be caused by many reasons. If the cough is accompanied by yellow sputum, consider lower respiratory tract infection; if the cough is accompanied by wheezing, consider bronchial asthma as a possible cause; if there is nasal congestion and a runny nose and a cough occurs, it may be caused by nasal mucus flowing backwards into the throat and causing an irritating cough; if the cough is chronic and persistent, consider gastroesophageal reflux disease as a possible cause. If the cough is chronic and persistent, gastroesophageal reflux disease may be the cause. Treatment varies greatly with different cough causes. If you have a cough, you need to visit the relevant hospital department and be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
