POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. Yes, you can give cow's milk to your 4-year-old child when she has a cough. Contrary to popular belief, cow's milk does not increase mucus production or worsen a cough. However, some children may feel that milk makes their throat feel thicker or that it coats their throat, which can be uncomfortable for some when they are congested.
If your child tolerates milk well and enjoys drinking it, there's no need to stop giving it during a cough. Just ensure that she is getting plenty of fluids like water, warm soups, or herbal teas (appropriate for children) to stay hydrated, which is crucial for recovery. Warm milk with a little honey (for children over 1 year old) can also be soothing for a cough.
If you notice that dairy seems to make her symptoms worse or she becomes uncomfortable after drinking milk, you might want to temporarily reduce it and see if her symptoms improve.
