Hello Anubhuti I can understand your concern about your son’s cough.but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

-Your son had fever initially, which has now subsided, but throat pain and cough are persisting even after antibiotics.

-This type of cough is common in children after infections because the respiratory tract remains sensitive and produces excess phlegm.

✅Why it Happens??

➡️After fever or throat infection, the body produces extra mucus. ➡️Antibiotics reduce infection but do not remove the residual Kapha (phlegm). ➡️The throat lining stays irritated, which leads to frequent cough.

As he is just 10 year old treatment will be most emphasized on home. Remedies and lifestyle change

✅HOME REMEDIES

1. Turmeric Milk (Haldi Doodh) – Give ½ tsp turmeric in warm milk at night. It reduces throat inflammation and improves immunity.

2. Tulsi + Honey – Crush 4–5 fresh Tulsi leaves and mix with 1 tsp honey. Give this twice daily. It acts as a natural cough reliever. (Avoid honey if any fever is still present.)

3. Ajwain & Mulethi Decoction – Boil ½ tsp ajwain and a small piece of mulethi (licorice) in 1 cup of water until half remains. Give lukewarm twice daily. This relieves throat irritation and helps clear phlegm.

4. Warm Gargles – Gargling with warm water containing a pinch of turmeric and salt 2 times a day reduces throat pain.

☑️Add a pinch of ajwain or black pepper in food to improve digestion and reduce phlegm formation.

☑️Ensure proper rest and sleep, and keep the room well-ventilated but avoid exposure to cold air.

The cough after fever is mainly due to leftover phlegm and throat irritation.

Wish him a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO ANUBHUTI BORA,

Your child’s illness began with fever, which subsided, then throat pain, and now cough -In Ayurveda , this is usually seen as an imbalance of Kapha dosha (phlegm/mucus) and sometimes vata dosha (causing dryness and irritation) -After a viral or bacterial infection, the body often produces mucus as a protective mechanism, which leads to cough -The goal of treatment is not just to suppress the cough, but to support the body in clearing mucus, soothing the throat, boosting digestion, and strengthening immunity so that recurrence is prevented

For your son’s persistent cough post-fever and throat pain, Ayurveda offers holistic remedies. Initially, it is important to understand any underlying dosha imbalances, particularly those associated with Kapha and Pitta, which frequently contribute to respiratory issues.

Begin with Tulsi, known for its excellent immunomodulatory properties. Prepare a Tulsi tea by boiling ten leaves in a cup of water, strain it, and offer warm. You may add honey, which is both soothing to the throat and acts as a natural expectorant. Offer this tea 2-3 times daily.

Introduce food that balances Kapha and Pitta doshas. Light, warm, and easy-to-digest foods like moong dal khichdi or a simple vegetable soup can be beneficial. Avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods, which can worsen the cough.

For topical relief, consider a warm compress with ajwain (carom seeds). Gently heat a tablespoon of ajwain seeds in a dry pan, wrap them in a clean cloth, then use the bundle to apply warmth on your son’s throat and chest. This can help reduce congestion and ease breathing. Ensure it’s not too hot to avoid any skin irritation.

Lukewarm water gargles with a pinch of turmeric and salt can also soothe a sore throat and help in clearing the respiratory tract. Encourage him to do this twice a day.

Encourage your son to maintain regular hydration. Sipping on warm herbal teas or warm water throughout the day can help in keeping his throat moistened and assist overall recovery.

Ensure that he gets ample rest. Creating a calming routine by reading or listening to soothing music before sleep can help manage stress and improve his healing journey.

If symptoms worsen, it would be wise to consult with a pediatrician or healthcare professional urgently, to ensure that any necessary allopathic interventions are not delayed.

It seems like your son is now dealing with a cough after an episode of fever and throat pain. In Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, it’s important to look at the underlying imbalance that might be causing these symptoms. Cough typically suggests an imbalance in the kapha dosha, and the throat pain might relate to both kapha and vata disturbances.

To help manage his cough, consider a ginger and honey remedy. Take a small piece of fresh ginger, crush it and extract the juice. Mix a teaspoon of this juice with an equal amount of honey, and have your son take this mixture twice daily on an empty stomach. Ginger helps in pacifying kapha, while honey can soothe the throat and has mild antibacterial properties.

Tulsi (holy basil) tea is another good approach. Boil a few tulsi leaves in water, strain it, and let your son sip this warm decoction. Tulsi is excellent for respiratory issues and helps balance kapha.

Additionally, steam inhalation can be helpful. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to hot water and let him inhale the steam. It can help clear nasal and chest congestion, making breathing easier.

Ensure he’s kept warm and avoids cold and damp environments, as they can aggravate his condition. Focus on warm, nourishing foods like soups, which are easy on digestion. Avoid dairy as it can increase kapha, leading to more mucus production.

If the cough persists, is worsening, or is accompanied with difficulty breathing or any unusual symptoms, it would be prudent to consult a healthcare professional immediately. Always ensure the remedies don’t interfere with any other treatments he’s receiving.
