Cough Alternative Remedies
A cough is the result of some kind of infection. However, when a child gets a cough it can be terrible. You should stop giving your child cold water.
Instead you should always give her warm water to drink. Ice creams, cold drinks and other cold things should be absolutely avoided since this will only make her cough worse. Instead give her warm soup, and feed her hot food.
Keep her warm. You can stir a teaspoon of honey into half a cup of warm water and add the juice of half a lemon into this. Stir well and get your child to drink this through the day. Give your child a cup of warm milk at bedtime and add a tiny amount of turmeric to this. At bedtime you can apply some decongestant on her throat and her back. You should also apply this to the soles of her feet. Put on a pair of old socks over this and put your child to sleep. This ensures that she sleeps well and does not wake up coughing in the night. If your child's cough persists you should take her to the doctor since this could be the indication of some other medical condition.
