POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a dry cough in babies, consider these home remedies commonly used in India:
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.
Always consult with your pediatrician before trying any home remedies, especially for babies. If the cough persists or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, seek medical advice promptly.
