OT- Can anything help for a bad cough,? My DS can't stop :(

Delsym (sp) works wonders! But I am an aspiring herbalist and recently started using 2 tbs apple cider vinegar and 2 tbs honey in a glass of warm water. A 5yo may not take it but it works great for coughs AND early signs of a UTI!

But, can you get a child to drink this?

My kids MUCH prefer this over any other OTC med!

What works for me and family when there's congestion which causes coughing is a nice long steam shower followed by a night with a humidifier. My kids are so used to it and it works so well for them that at the first sign of a cough my 8yo is digging through the closet for the humidifier.

Humidity to loosen and remove the phlegm (by coughing) is the most effective way, IMHO. (I do add Kaz to my room humidifier for added effect)

Steam from shower, room humidifier and drinking plenty of clear fluids works every time. happyface
