How to remove baby cough by home remedy

Simple and natural home remedy for baby cough that can help soothe your baby’s discomfort. Always consult your pediatrician before trying any home remedy, especially for babies under 6 months.


 Honey and Warm Water (for babies over 1 year)

Honey is a natural cough suppressant and soothing agent. However, do not give honey to babies under 1 year due to the risk of botulism.


Ingredients:

- 1/2 teaspoon of honey

- A small amount of warm water


Instructions:

1. Mix the honey in warm water to dissolve.

2. Give your baby a small sip of this mixture. 

3. You can repeat this remedy twice a day.


Steam Therapy (for all ages)

Steam can help loosen mucus and make it easier for your baby to breathe.


Instructions:

1. Run a hot shower with the bathroom door closed to create steam.

2. Sit with your baby in the steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes.

3. Ensure the bathroom is safe and not too hot for your baby.


Saline Nasal Drops (for babies under 6 months)

Saline drops can help clear the nasal passages if your baby has a cough due to a stuffy nose.


Ingredients:

- Saline nasal drops (you can purchase over the counter or make your own with saltwater)


Instructions:

1. Put a few drops of saline solution into each nostril.

2. After a few minutes, use a nasal aspirator to clear out the mucus.


Warm Liquids (for babies over 6 months)

Warm liquids like breast milk, formula, or herbal teas (such as chamomile) can be soothing and keep your baby hydrated.


Instructions:

1. Offer your baby warm liquids throughout the day to keep them hydrated and ease the cough.


Elevating the Head (for babies over 6 months)

Raising the head slightly during sleep can help reduce coughing, especially if it's related to post-nasal drip.


Instructions:

1. Place a firm pillow under your baby’s mattress (not directly under the baby) to elevate the head slightly.


Gentle Massage (for all ages)

A gentle chest massage can help relax your baby and may ease a cough.


Instructions:

1. Use a baby-safe oil (like coconut oil) and gently rub it on your baby’s chest in a circular motion.


Important Notes:

- Keep your baby hydrated.

- Ensure your baby is not exposed to irritants like smoke or strong odors.

- Monitor the cough and consult a doctor if it persists or if your baby shows other symptoms like fever, trouble breathing, or extreme irritability.
