If your cough persists or worsens, it is crucial to seek advice from a healthcare professional. While this remedy serves as a supportive measure, it is not a substitute for medical treatment. It is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before trying new remedies, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking any medications.
