Treatment of cough with milk and soda
Using milk with soda when coughing can significantly accelerate recovery. The healing effect is due to several factors:
- milk, rich in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, strengthens the body;
- A warm liquid warms the airways and speeds up the metabolic processes;
- milk fat softens the throat;
- soda has a disinfectant effect;
- soda accelerates sputum liquefaction and expectoration;

With colds and SARS, bacteria begin to spread along the respiratory tract, the body tries to fight them, there is a dry superficial cough. Thus our body gets rid of clumps of mucus and phlegm in the lungs, but if they are too thick, the cough is ineffective and weak.

- liquorice root.
When they are used, the cough becomes deeper and stronger, which helps to clear the respiratory organs from bacteria faster. The same effect is obtained by treatment with milk and soda. A disease that could last for weeks and end with complications will go away in a few days.
