Natural health: How can I get rid of my dry cough?

Plus: natural ways to recover from post-birth perineal stitching

The culinary herb thyme is one of my favourite medicinal herbs for strengthening the lungs and supporting the immune system, particularly when coughing and respiratory ailments are the main concerns.

I picked up two bugs almost back-to-back last month, both of which flattened me. Several people at work have also been unwell.

My symptoms have all but gone, except for a dry cough in the morning. However, I feel tired most of the time. What would you recommend?
