What are the best Indian home remedies for cough for kids, and how can they be used safely? - #12331

I have a child who has been struggling with a persistent cough for a few days, and I’m looking for natural remedies that can help relieve the symptoms safely. I know that Indian home remedies have been passed down through generations, but I want to make sure that the remedies I choose are gentle and safe for kids. One of the common remedies I’ve read about is honey and ginger for treating cough. Since ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and honey soothes the throat, how can these be combined to provide relief for kids? How much ginger should be added to the honey for effective relief, and at what age is it safe for children? Another home remedy I came across is using warm turmeric milk. Since turmeric has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, can this remedy help treat a dry cough in kids? How should turmeric milk be prepared, and how often can children consume it without any side effects? I’ve also read about steaming to clear the airways. How effective is using steam therapy for children with cough, and is there any specific way to use essential oils like eucalyptus or lavender in the steam? How old should children be to safely use this method, and are there any precautions to keep in mind? Lastly, I came across the use of Tulsi leaves in treating respiratory issues. How does Tulsi help in relieving cough and improving respiratory health? Should Tulsi leaves be boiled and given as a tea, or is there another method for kids? If anyone has tried home remedies for kids with cough, I’d love to hear about your experience. What worked best for your child, and how quickly did they feel better? Also, were there any precautions you took when using these remedies? Looking forward to your insights!
