Medicines dont work. Can anyone please suggest a Home remedy for cough for my 3 1/2 year old kid?

Question

Thank you.

Answer 1

Is this a persistent cough or a cough and cold sort of thing?  My six year old had a terrible cough for years.  One of the best things I found was sitting him in the bathroom for twenty minutes or so with the shower running as hot as possible. Since your child is younger I would say sit with him or her so they do not gt hurt by the hot water.  The other thing I would do is have him lay on his knees and pat on his back to help loosen things up.  Have patience and it will go away.  I know it seems like it won't but it will.  Funny thing for him was after I took him off the meds he was on he quit coughing altogether.

Answer 2

don't give un nessory give medicines to ur child. because most of the time its the viral infection which the child's have .and its resolves it self. if u r more conscious to ur child u may consult with a pediatrician.  always trust and listen the professional person instead of trying forums advise.

Young Living Oil makes an essential oil called "RC"  I mix a drop or two in the palm of my hand with some grape seed oil (found in the supermarket with other cooking oils).  I rub this all over my childs chest, neck, back, and bottom of feet.  The coughing stops instantly!!

I. Wonder Remedy: We Indians chew a piece of herb/fruit called HARITAKI--(Terminalia chebula or Cherubic myrobalan) which is rich in alkaloids. THIS STOPS THE COUGH IMMEDIATELY. We use it for 3-7 days. It is recommended 365 days a year.

For a kid, use the powder 1/2 spoon with honey. It is bitter. Alternatively, You can get a sweet ayurvedic syrup: Dasamoola Haritaki.

II. Licorice root is sweet and soothing on the throat and helps too. Use the powder 1/4 tsp with honey and let it be in mouth for 15-20 mins before swallowing. Three times a day. However, long term use in higher doses is not recommended.

Dont worry. The juice of 'Tulsy' leaves and 'karpuraathi' leaves are mixed in the hot milk will reduce the cough for children. This can be given in nights. Early morning you can ask your kid to have  honey (a teaspoonful) and slowly swallow it. Enough.
