Salt-steamed oranges: auxiliary treatment for cough

Overview

Recently, many people have colds and coughs. I have been coughing for a week and have been taking medicine for a week, but it is still not good. I remembered that there was a folk remedy for coughs on the Internet - oranges steamed with salt, so I ate it with the idea of giving it a try. I also took the medicine at the same time. After eating the oranges steamed with salt for 4 days, I felt better. Although I don’t know which one plays the role, the auxiliary therapeutic effect of oranges should be affirmed.
