Iron supplements may be the best remedy for women with chronic coughs. After studying otherwise healty nonsmoking women, researchers at Italy's University of Turin found that iron supplements resolved or improved pharyngolaryngitis and coughs in women with iron deficiencies.

"Twenty percent of women in industrialised countries suffer iron deficiency," says the study leader, Dr. Caterina Bucca. "Iron regulates the production of inflammatory cytokines (proteins) and its deficiency might cause upper airway inflammation."

Patients with persistent, unexplained coughs should also have their vitamin and mineral levels checked. "We found that other nutritional disorders, such as Vitamin B12 deficiency, also presented with cough." - RDASIA.COM
