A. To help remove cough from the chest (chest congestion), especially in children or adults, here are some effective remedies and tips: 1. Steam Inhalation Inhale warm steam 2–3 times a day. You can add a few drops of eucalyptus oil for added relief. This loosens mucus in the chest. 2. Warm Fluids Give warm water, soups, or herbal teas (like tulsi-ginger tea for older children/adults). Warm fluids help thin mucus and soothe the throat. 3. Honey (for 1+ Year) For children above 1 year, a teaspoon of honey with warm water or tulsi-ginger juice can help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. 4. Chest Massage For babies and young kids, gently massage the chest and back with warm mustard oil infused with garlic or ajwain (carom seeds) — helps loosen congestion. 5. Keep the Head Elevated At night, keep the head slightly elevated (for older children) to prevent mucus buildup and reduce nighttime coughing. 6. Humidifier Use a cool-mist humidifier in the room to maintain moisture in the air, especially if the weather is dry. 7. Medication (if needed) For persistent cough, consult a doctor. They may prescribe mucolytics or safe cough syrups depending on age. If the cough lasts more than a week, worsens, or comes with fever or breathing difficulty, see a pediatrician or physician immediately.
