Hi Tariq,
Can you tell me if your daughter has any other symptoms like fever, wheezing, or chest tightness along with the cough? Also, how is her digestion and sleep—any signs of indigestion or poor sleep that could be contributing? Lastly, does she have any known food allergies or sensitivities, particularly to cold foods or drinks? This will help guide a more holistic approach to managing her symptoms.

Hi . Kapha dosha is prominent in pediatrics age group. So cough, sneezing are very common in children .is there any allergy of food colors , cold drink just rule out. Did you have her recent CBC report in which if eosinophil are high that indicate she might have allergy of something. Also avoid Cold and sweet food at night to helps to reduce cough. Have warm water with pinch of black pepper and dry ginger powder
Syp. Septilin (Himalaya) gives good relief in cold and cough in pediatrics age group.

According to Ayurveda, your daughter's cough may be due to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which is aggravated by cold drinks and processed foods. This imbalance leads to excess mucus and a weak digestive fire (Agni), causing irritation in the throat and respiratory tract. When she drinks cold beverages or consumes certain catch-ups, it increases the Kapha, triggering a sore throat and cough.
For management, it is advised that she avoids cold drinks and opts for warm, freshly prepared foods instead. Simple remedies like warm water with a little honey can soothe the throat (ensure honey is appropriate for her age), and a mild ginger or tulsi tea may help improve digestion and boost immunity. Maintaining a regular routine with proper sleep and light activity can also help balance her doshas.
Please consult with a qualified Ayurvedic paediatrician for a personalized treatment plan tailored to her age and specific condition.

When kids get caught up with stubborn coughs, as frustrating as it can be, especially with medicines not working, there's always more we can try. With Ayurveda, looking deeper at your daughter's lifestyle and diet can make a big difference, you know? Coughing often points to an imbalance, and from the sounds of it, she might be dealing with a Kapha-Vata disorder, especially when cold things make it worse. Cold drinks can dampen agni – her digestive fire and this can cause an imbalance temporarily. Maybe steer clear from cold drinks and ketchup for a while, see if that helps.
Let’s dive into diet first. Warm, cooked meals, that's the idea. Put away all cold and raw foods like cold drinks, ice-creams, and even refrigerated leftovers. Add a pinch of ginger or turmeric in her food. It’s warming and can work wonderfully with a squeeze of lemon in hot water. (Watch out though, some kids find ginger spicy!)
You might try giving her a teaspoon of honey with a sprinkle of powdered ginger and a pinch of cinnamon in the mornings. This can soothe and clear up that irritated throat. But make sure she isn't allergic to any of these ingredients first.
Keep her cozy. She might need some calming activities - breathing exercises, gentle yoga stretches can reduce stress and make her comfortable. Fresh air, but no draughts. When things linger long like this, warm ginger or mint teas can actually help.
If things still get sticky, and this doesn't bring relief soon, please, do have her checked through her regular healthcare provider. Especially considering her age and the persistence of her symptoms, never gamble on it.
And don't forget, little lifestyle tweaks can be magic! Fingers crossed for a quick recovery. 🙏
