Image
Honey and over-the-counter medicines should be the first line of treatment for most people with coughs, new guidelines recommend. Antibiotics should rarely be prescribed by doctors for coughs because in most cases they do little to improve symptoms, health officials say. Most of the time a cough will improve on its own within two to three weeks. The new recommendations for doctors are intended to help tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance.

'Huge problem' A hot drink with honey - and often with lemon and ginger as well - is a well-known home remedy for coughs and a sore throat.

Say Cheese: Dental Benefits

Image
Dental insurance is often an afterthought when obtaining health insurance for a number of reasons. Some people may simply dislike the dentist and use the lack of dental insurance as a reason to not visit the dentist; others may feel that dental insurance is not worth the added cost to their monthly health insurance premium.
