#asktheexpert my son is suffering from a cough

1 Answer

A. If your son is suffering from a cough, here are some general steps you can take to help manage his symptoms: 1. **Hydration:** Ensure he drinks plenty of fluids. Water, clear broths, and herbal teas can help soothe the throat and keep him hydrated. 2. **Humidifier:** Use a cool-mist humidifier in his room to keep the air moist, which can ease coughing and congestion. 3. **Honey:** For children over 1 year old, a teaspoon of honey can help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. (Note: Honey should not be given to infants under 1 year due to the risk of botulism.) 4. **Elevate Head:** Keep his head elevated while sleeping to help reduce coughing during the night. 5. **Warm Salt Water Gargle:** For older children, gargling with warm salt water can help relieve throat irritation. 6. **Avoid Irritants:** Keep him away from smoke, strong odors, and allergens that might aggravate the cough. If the cough persists for more than a week, is severe, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as high fever, difficulty breathing, or wheezing, consult a pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
