Natural Cough Remedies?


1 teaspoon of honey
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Stir mixture in a little bit of drinking water and drink immediately.
Take this 2-3 times a day.

Has anyone tried a natural remedy like this one here for kids coughing? One of my girls has been coughing at night for probably six weeks now and we can't seem to shake it. She usually does okay during the day, though the last week or so she's coughed some during the day as well. We've tried different medicines but don't really like keeping her medicated. We've rubbed Vick's on her feet at night. We've given her water to have in bed with her. Any advice from people who have been there would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help!

Home remedies like the lemon and honey can be of some help and certainly don't hurt.
If she isn't running a fever and the cough doesn't sound "gurgly" or "wet" you might want to try stripping her bed and vaccuuming the box spring and mattress and run her pillows through a dryer cycle. Sometimes that type of cough can be an allergic reaction to trapped dust & particles that build up more so in winter than in warmer months. Changing sheets may not be enough as I found out myself when I developed a lingering cough.
This is winter and there are a lot of "bugs" circulating, so she may have a sub clinical infection and may need to see the doc if it doesn't clear up.
I hope she is better soon.

First, dhs doyle, you're a sick freak and I can assure you that you're not welcome here.

Jason, I'm not sure if this is a 'natural' remedy or not, but when I was around 5, my dad used to give me moonshine straight out of the still...worked every time!

nanc said...

she may have allergies to dust mites and/or mold - both very high at this time of year. unfortunately it may be something she may have to get used to, as i have.

there are a couple of natural things you can do to alleviate the symptoms. remove ALL natural fiber and other materials from where she sleeps - all wool, down and feathers. put her stuffed animals into the dryer at least once a week on high for about 20 minutes.

clean and spray all mouldings, windowsills with a combination of four parts water and one part white vinegar at least once a month. for stubborn mold stains on windowsills, spray straight hydrogen peroxide and wipe thoroughly as it bubbles repeating until it no longer bubbles.

it seems time consuming, but the results are worth it.

as for something to take, try adding what you have noted to some green tea.

i am a victim of these two allergies and it about killed me when i had to give up ALL MY DOWN!

the problem with natural fibers is dust mites love hanging out in them.

Yehudi said...

Am I the only one that's a fan of the Moonshine Treatment?

Papa Frank said...

I'm fresh out of moonshine from a still in the woods. That's more of a southern Missouri thing.

Sorry, I don't purport to know about cough remedies, but I just got'ta tell you and Daniel that you guys cause me to laugh hard every day... you two usually make my eyes water! You guys just don’t stop. Now, there’s a remedy… laughter. Rent a clean comedy or two and pile her up with blankets in the family room, that have only synthetic fiber if Nanc is right, and let her laugh it away!

Although, this thing is going around… my son was medi-vacced from his off-shore rig with bronchitis and a sinus infection a couple of weeks ago. They quarantined him for 3 days before they finally flew him off the rig, poor kid. It took antibiotics. Yuk! Most every one I know is sick with similar symptoms.

I’ll definitely say a prayer for her!

:)

I'm a girl from West Virginia and I know about the moon shine. However, being the child of very strict baptist, I was never declared "sick" enough to try it and find out if it works.
Shortly after my marriage I came down with a bad, persistent cough. My husband and I went to the Marine Corp Ball, and being the innocent that I am, I had no idea the punch was spiked!
So, I can say that the spiked punch works very well to stop a cough!

Jan said...

Jason..mixing equal parts of honey and organic apple cider vinegar(the one with the 'mother' visible in the bottle)and taking a teaspoonful or two could help. I know that it will loosen mucous very well. Also, I've heard that sprinkling the vinegar onto a cloth, and putting it inside a pillow case helps coughing, somehow.

I had to laugh at Yehudi's remedy..that happens to be what Daddy gave to us when we coughed. He mixed it with sugar, and gave us a spoonful of it, and as I recall, it seemed to work! :)

Avi said...

I have a bad cough too! I had a sinus infection (lovely, I know) just in time for exams. Thank G-d, I'm feeling better now.

elmers brother said...

I recommend surgery but only as a last resort.

nanc said...

jan and yehudi - it JUST made you sleep through it...

Michael said...

That cough remedy actually sounds pretty good.

Let us know how it works, and I hope you little feels better.

Brooke said...

Nanc stole my thunder: I was going to suggest a new pillow in a allergen cover, and all the rest what she said.

Sometimes it's just a post-nasal drip brought on by allergies. She's fine when she's upright, but at night all the drainage is pooling in her throat. I had that bad when I was a kid/teen.

As for Yehudi's remedy... It's my fave for sore throats, too, with a little honey and coffee. Straight if symptoms are bad. ;)

Sorry. Nyquil's the only thing that ever worked for us...

Anonymous said...

I just punish the Nyquil bottle heavily when I get a cold. I don't guess kids can drink that stuff, though. It's pretty stout. They don't call it "Baptist Bourbon" for nothing.

Brooke said...

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Baptist Bourbon. :D

I knew third shift nurses who would give their kids a bit of Nyquil at naptime later the next day to ensure sleep.

Totally messed-up.

Papa Frank said...

Thank you everyone for the practical and comical ideas. I tried the honey and lemon idea for the last two nights and it seems to be helping. This weekend we'll attack all the bedding and pillows and stuffed animals.

nanc said...

ahhhhhhhh, the liquor store - the only place baptists NEVER recognize each other...

i can say that having gone to a sobap church for awhile.

elmers brother said...

what??? you didn't try the surgery?

j/k

Papa Frank said...

We decided the surgery was a little too precautionary just yet. :)

Kelly said...

We'll try that - we have a couple of kids with some coughs coming on!

Anonymous said...

My mother-in-law says it could be allergies and my husband says there's something going around.
