Your Natural Health Solution for Cough Relief
Coughs are common during childhood respiratory infections. On average, over a one-year period, children in good health have 7 to 10 bouts of upper respiratory tract infection that can cause a cough*.
What is a Cough?
A cough is not a disease, but a natural bodily reaction after the respiratory tract has come into contact with external agents (bacteria, viruses, pollution) or allergens (pollen). It is a defense reflex that allows you to expel a foreign body or bronchial secretions via the respiratory tract. Cough is a symptom to be mindful of. It may indicate a viral or bacterial respiratory tract infection (rhinopharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, acute bronchitis).

How to relieve simple coughs? Here are a few tips:
When suffering from a cough, it is important to stay hydrated to thin out mucus. If the air is dry, a cool-mist humidifier can be used in the room to help hydrate the lungs. Other popular home remedies include tea, honey, and chicken soup as the warmth and spices help open up the nasal route. Note that honey should not be fed to infants under one-year-old as it can lead to infant botulism. Here are a few habits to adopt if a minor cough strikes:
- Gargle at least once every hour with 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt dissolved in 240 ml (8 oz) of warm water.
- Moisten the air to prevent further irritation of mucous membranes. The humidity in the room should be kept at 55%.
- Stay hydrated: Drink water and hot beverages with lemon and honey.
- Elevate the head of your bed in case of nocturnal coughing.
