6. Saltwater gargle
People have used saltwater gargles for a long time to help alleviate sore throat and symptoms associated with the common cold. It may help loosen mucus and alleviate some pain.
7. Bromelain
Bromelain is an enzyme that comes from pineapples. It is most plentiful in the core of the fruit.
It has anti-inflammatory properties and may also have mucolytic properties, which means it can break down mucus and remove it from the body.
Some people drink pineapple juice daily to reduce mucus in the throat and suppress coughing. However, there may not be enough bromelain in the juice to relieve symptoms.
Bromelain supplements are available and may be more effective at relieving coughs.
