Homeopathy for Dry Cough – Safe Remedies for All Ages

Introduction

A dry cough can be frustrating — it disrupts sleep, strains your throat, and can linger long after an illness passes. While conventional syrups may temporarily suppress coughing, they often come with side effects like drowsiness. Homeopathy, on the other hand, offers gentle, symptom-based remedies that are safe for everyone — from toddlers to seniors.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best dry cough homeopathy remedies, how they work for different causes, and supportive care tips for faster recovery.
