Hlo,
Hello 🙏 Based on the details you shared, here is a short Ayurvedic understanding and simple prescription.
🌿 Ayurvedic Understanding Night-time cough with sore throat in children is commonly due to - Kapha–Vata imbalance. - Cold exposure, dust, weather change, or mild infection leads to Kapha accumulation in the throat and chest, causing irritation and cough, which worsens at night.
🌿 Prescription (Safe & Simple) 1️⃣ For Cough & Sore Throat Age above 1 year
- Honey + Ginger juice 👉 Mix ½ tsp honey + 2–3 drops fresh ginger juice 👉 Give 2 times daily, especially at night OR - Sitopaladi Churna 👉 ¼ tsp + honey 👉 Twice daily after food
2️⃣ Warm Relief Give lukewarm water to drink Do steam inhalation with plain water (5 minutes, once daily, supervised)
🌿 Immunity Booster (Ayurvedic) Daily Food Support Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric at night
Soft foods: rice gruel, dal soup, vegetable soup Avoid cold foods, ice cream, curd at night
Herbal Immunity Support - Drakshasava – 2.5 ml + equal water, once daily after lunch (mild immunity & throat strengthener) OR - Chyawanprash – ¼ tsp in the morning (if age >3 years)
🚫 Avoid Cold water, cold fruits at night Fried, bakery, packaged foods Direct fan/AC on face while sleeping

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
Usually, this kind of cough means: –There’s too much Kapha (snot buildup). –A little Vata making the cough worse at night. –Her digestion (Agni) is a bit weak, which affects immunity.
In Ayurveda, we call this Kaphaja Kasa (a fresh cough) * It’s not a big deal. * Easy fixes work really well. * Taking care of it now stops it from coming back.
TREATMENT GOAL * Make her throat feel better. * Less coughing at night. * Get rid of that mild stuffiness. * Gently make her immune system stronger.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
SAFE SYRUPS (Pick one):
* Kofol Syrup (Baidyanath / Charak) * Honitus for Kids (Himalaya)
–5 ml –Twice a day after she eats.
HOME REMEDIES (They really work!):
Honey + warm water (Only if she’s over 1 year old) * ½ teaspoon honey * Once at night before bed. * This will calm her throat and lessen night coughs.
Turmeric Milk (if she likes it) * A tiny bit of turmeric * In warm milk * At night.
FOODS TO BOOST IMMUNITY(Kid-friendly!):
INCLUDE * Warm milk * Ghee – ½ teaspoon every day * Soft cooked rice and lentils * Veggie soups * Fruits: apple, pomegranate
AVOID * Cold water * Ice cream, chocolate * Baked goods * Curd at night
Daily Tips & Staying Healthy:
* Keep her chest and feet cozy. * No direct fan or AC at night. * Steam if she’s okay with it (just plain steam). * Make sure she gets good sleep.
