Cough can be a symptom of many diseases like lung diseases, respiratory problems and certain medications can cause dry cough, asthma or any other major or minor associated condition.

Try the following home remedies to help him -

  • Mix 2 tsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp.


    honey and 1 tsp. ginger juice in a cup of water to make a natural cough syrup. Take this syrup several times a day to ease coughing.


  • Elimination of mucus which comes while coughing is very important to avoid further congestion.
  • Turmeric has a soothing effect in treatment of cough. Mix ½ tsp of turmeric powder and a pinch of salt in a cup of boiling milk. Drink this twice daily especially before going to bed.
  • Increase the intake of fluids, prefer warm water when in school and at home hot liquids and soups can be taken. A chicken broth/soup or vegetable soup with garlic in it would help to boost his immune system.
