1. **Turmeric Milk (Haldi Doodh):** Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric can help soothe a cough due to turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties.
2. **Honey and Tulsi (Holy Basil) Juice:** Mixing honey with a few drops of Tulsi juice can provide relief. Note: Honey is suitable for babies over one year old.
3. **Ajwain (Carom Seeds) Potli:** Make a small potli (bundle) with ajwain and warm it slightly. Gently rub this warm potli on the baby's chest.
4. **Steam Inhalation:** Use a steam vaporizer or take the baby into a steamy bathroom to ease congestion.
5. **Elevate the Head:** Elevate the baby's head while sleeping to help with breathing.
6. **Ginger and Honey:** Mix a small amount of ginger juice with honey (for babies over one year) to provide relief.
