Effective folk remedies for children's cough

Cough and sore throat in children are symptoms that often come with signs of flu and fever. The reason is that due to sudden changes in weather, children's respiratory tract is easily attacked.

Here is a folk remedy for cough in children:

Buddha's hand with malt

Soak the Buddha's hand fruit in salt water, wash the outer skin, slice thinly, then add malt in equal proportions. Steam or double boil for about 30 to 45 minutes. Every night before going to bed, take out 10ml into a small cup, soak it in a bowl of hot water to warm it up, then give it to your baby to drink. You can add a little filtered water to make it easier for your baby to drink.

Ginger and honey

Take about 20 grams of fresh ginger, wash it, peel it, slice it thinly, then mix it well with 20ml of honey. You can let your baby hold the mixture in his throat for about 1-2 minutes. Do this 2-3 times a day.

Fish mint boiled with rice water

Wash the fish mint, crush it, boil it with rice water for about 20-30 minutes. Mothers should give their children 2-3 times a day until they are cured. Drink about an hour after meals. If the child has difficulty drinking, you can add a little sugar. While the child is drinking the fish mint, mothers may see that the child's stool is a bit runny, which is because the child's body releases some phlegm.

Steamed lemon basil leaves with green kumquat

Take about 15-16 lemon basil leaves and 4-5 green kumquats, wash them, then blend them, steam or boil them in a double boiler for 20 minutes. You should give your baby 1-2 times/day until the cough is gone.

Honey steamed green kumquat

Use 3-4 kumquats, wash them, leave the skin on, slice them thinly, mix them with honey evenly. Then steam or boil them in a double boiler for about 10-15 minutes until they become a smooth liquid. Give your baby 2-3 times a day, 1-2 teaspoons each time. You can add a few grains of salt to increase the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, the effect will be higher.

Steamed honey with chives

Use 3-5 chives, wash, chop, mix well with honey, then steam or boil in a double boiler and use like honey steamed kumquat.
