Question on treating whooping cough

What can I use for a hacking cough for my infant son? I was told not to use cough medicine because of the recalls.

Treatment for whooping cough -

  • Give pinch of black pepper powder mixed with jaggery .It can be repeated every 3 hours depending on the cough.
  • Give a pinch of the powder of roasted cloves with sugar or milk powder for 2 -3 times in a day.


    This should be given when the whoop is severe.
  • Press on the chest wall, on the rib cage, sides of the tracheal tube give medium pressure and leave, repeat this 10 times on each spot.
