Do oranges have a cough suppressant effect

Female  32 years old 2018-07-01
I have been coughing for a few days. I have taken Chinese medicine and western medicine, but the effect has not been good. My friend said that eating more oranges can improve my symptoms. Can it really stop coughing?

    Oranges can replenish water and also have a throat-soothing effect to treat sore throats. If you have a sore throat when you cough, it is an inflammatory cough. You may wish to eat oranges. Oranges contain volatile oil, limonene, etc., which can promote the increase of respiratory mucosal secretions and relieve bronchospasm. It has the effects of expectorant, cough and asthma.
