He also asked the doctor about an old wives tale that one shouldn’t chew ice cubes if they have a cough.
You can eat anything. As long you can still eat, there’s no issue.
The doctor told Azeem.
Azeem felt that the doctor is a laidback and humorous person. He believes that the doctor is the coolest person he has met this year and thanked the doctor.
Netizens say it works
Netizens agreed that cloves worked very well for relieving coughs and it’s a useful ingredient to have at home.
Another netizen said drinking coffee with cloves helped soothe his sore throat and relieve nasal congestion when they had Covid-19.
Cloves are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which could explain why it helps to soothe sore throats and nasal congestions.

With that said, a netizen warned others not to chew the cloves directly because the spice can irritate the throat.
It’s still best to let the cloves soak in the drink for a while before consuming it.
Jangan kunyah cengkih tu. Panas tekak nanti. My parents makan, kita pon bior jerlah dah diorg berkeras. Akhirnya sakit tekak sebab kunyah cengkih bukan sebab covid😂 Nasiblah kita tak join.
