#asktheexpert my baby is coughing continuously is there any home remedy to reduce her coughing as she is unable to sleep also

A. For a baby with a persistent cough, consider these home remedies to help soothe her: 1. Honey: If your baby is over one year old, give her a teaspoon of honey to help soothe the throat. 2. Steam Inhalation: Create a steamy environment by running a hot shower and letting her breathe in the steam, or use a humidifier in her room. 3. Warm Fluids: Offer warm water, broth, or herbal teas (like chamomile) to keep her hydrated and soothe her throat. 4. Elevate Head: When she sleeps, prop her head slightly with a pillow (if age-appropriate) to help reduce coughing during the night. 5. Saline Nasal Drops: Use saline drops in her nose to help clear congestion, making it easier for her to breathe. If the cough persists or worsens, or if she has difficulty breathing, consult a pediatrician promptly.
