Question

Accepted Answer

If your 1-year-4-month-old daughter is having a cough, continuing the Muco Light syrup and steam inhalation are good steps to help with the mucus and congestion. In addition to these, you can try a few other things to help soothe her symptoms. Make sure she stays well-hydrated, as fluids help thin the mucus, making it easier for her to clear. You can offer warm water, herbal teas (like chamomile or ginger with honey, depending on her age), and broths. For her diet, incorporate fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, kiwi, strawberries, papaya, and guava, as they can help boost her immunity and provide relief from the cough. You can also give banana and apple, as these are gentle on the stomach and can help provide nourishment. Be sure to offer foods that are easy to swallow, like mashed vegetables and smooth soups, to avoid any irritation in her throat. Additionally, you can try honey (if your child is over 1 year old) as it has natural soothing properties for the throat. If her cough persists for more than a week, worsens, or if she shows signs of difficulty breathing, a visit to the pediatrician would be advisable.
