We would use olive oil to cook our curries everyday. We started to use butter instead of olive oil and the relief from coughing came overnight.

Other people with coughs we suggested to give up olive oil had similar results.

The latest was my wife's nephew who is a fit young man, regular gym goer who despite frequent visits to his doctor was told nothing could be done.

After we told him to avoid olive oil his cough disappeared almost overnight.

Last night we had some vegetables roasted in olive oil and predictably my wife is coughing this morning.

I do not appear to have any such problems with olive oil.

Here's hoping lessons have been learned.

I tried searching for this remedy but couldn't find it so decided to write this post.
