4. Massage
There are thousands of health benefits associated with massage, and it can be one of the best ways to relieve associated muscle pain and tension no matter what the condition might be that’s causing it. This is why people in professional sports will usually rely on a professional massage therapist – and you can also benefit from one if you’re trying to find relief from the associated symptoms of a condition like whooping cough.
A persistent cough for several hours, days or weeks can leave your body tense, and massage together with a warm bath is one of the best natural ways to find relief for the symptom. Massage can be done at home, but it helps to have at least a few consultations with a professional to show you the ropes.
See your doctor if massage isn’t effective, or if the pain continues even after the first signs of the infection are gone.
