Apple cider vinegar + honey = natural cough remedy

I found this home remedy for cough and it worked so well that I wanted to share it with everyone. The first night I tried it, my son threw up a bunch of phlegm after 5 minutes which helped him get cleared up. About an hour and a half later, I gave him another teaspon before going to bed and within 5 minutes he was asleep (it usually takes him at least 30 minutes to do that)! Although he had the rapid shallow breathing due to his history of asthma, he didn’t cough during this first night and was able to sleep the entire night. He only needed 2 nebulizer treatments to control his asthma symptoms*. On the second night his asthma symptoms were gone and really slept well – even eliminated his snoring (a chronic problem due to stuffed sinuses). By day 3, he had an occassional cough – not as frequent, severe or lingering like his previous experiences (lasts for at least 2 weeks). He was even able to play basketball and spend a day outside. I only had to give it to him in the morning and before going to bed. I usually give it every 3 hours until cough is gone. Here’s to green living and good health. SAY NO TO DRUGS! *Please do not take this as a cure to his asthma symptoms. I only used this to control his cough. I have been using other approaches to control his asthma and allergies all of which I believe have currently helped him recover quickly. Should his symptoms not improve with his doctor prescribed rescue medications, we are prepared to contact his doctor/take him to the ER

Does anyone have a nighttime cough remedy ASAP?

I’ve had acute bronchitis for over a week and the cough is killing me. I cannot sleep at night.

I am 9 months pregnant so I’m already sleeping propped up and that doesn’t make a difference.

Every night before bed I made some sort of “toddy” with hot water, lemon, honey, etc. and it does NOTHING. Nor does over the counter cough syrup.

I also do a hot steam treatment before bed. It feels great but it loosens everything up and makes me cough MORE.

Please help!

Anyone have a baby cough remedy?

My 4 month old son has developed a dry, hacking cough as well a blocked nose and i want to know if there is any home remedy i can give him.

I know that when i have a cough i normally have hot water with honey, but as honey is a no-go for babies under one i cannot give him that.

I do not really want to give him a cough syrup as they are full of artificial colours.

Can anyone help me with a home remedy as my poor little lad really seems miserable.

Natural remedies for coughs and colds etc that are suitable for children?

At this time of year my daughter always takes such a bad cough and cold, but I hate giving her medication every four hours (ie paracetamol and cough medicine), so I was just wondering if there was anything more natural that I could use. Her temperature is always very high and she coughs so bad that she makes herself sick, I have been to the doctors in the past and all they offer me is more paracetamol, more cough bottle and anti-biotics if it goes on too long. Thanks in advance for any help.
