Ayurvedic Medicine For Cough At Home - #7253
I’m looking for effective Ayurvedic medicine for cough at home, as my 8-year-old child has been coughing persistently for over a week now. The cough is mild during the day but gets worse at night, making it difficult for him to sleep. Doctor, could you suggest home remedies and medicines that are safe and effective for children? I’ve heard about using honey with ginger and turmeric as part of Ayurvedic medicine for cough at home. Is this safe for children, and what’s the best way to prepare and give this remedy? How often should I administer it? I also came across the use of Tulsi leaves in Ayurvedic medicine for cough at home. Would boiling Tulsi leaves with jaggery and black pepper help reduce the coughing fits? Are there other herbal teas or decoctions that are more effective for children? One issue is that my child also complains of a sore throat along with the cough. Should I try gargling with salt water, or is there a better Ayurvedic remedy for throat relief? Would warm milk with turmeric be a good addition to the Ayurvedic medicine for cough at home routine? Doctor, could you also suggest any dietary precautions? Should I avoid giving him cold foods and drinks entirely, or are there specific foods that can actually help in soothing his throat and reducing the cough? Please provide a detailed guide for Ayurvedic medicine for cough at home, specifically for children, including herbal remedies, preparation methods, and any safety tips to ensure quick relief.
