#asktheexpert my daughter is suffering from cough I’m currently giving her huf puf from yesterday night the mucus is very thick it’s not coming out

A. Thick mucus can make coughing uncomfortable for your daughter. Since you're already giving Hoof Proof, you can try a few additional home remedies and care tips to help loosen the mucus: ✅ Remedies for Thick Mucus & Cough Steam Therapy – Give her steam inhalation (before sleep and in the morning). This helps loosen mucus and makes it easier to cough out. Saline Drops – If her nose is blocked, use saline drops to clear it. Fluids & Warm Liquids – Give warm water, homemade soups, or lukewarm honey water (if she is above 1 year old). Gentle Chest & Back Patting – Lightly tap her back to help break the mucus. Elevated Sleeping Position – Keep her head slightly raised while sleeping to reduce nighttime coughing. 🚨 When to See a Doctor? ✔ If the cough lasts more than 5 days or worsens. ✔ If she has fever, difficulty breathing, or wheezing. ✔ If mucus turns greenish or yellow (sign of infection).
