1. Relieve the Cough:
Steam inhalation: Run a hot shower to create steam or use a humidifier in his room to ease his breathing and soothe the throat.
Honey (for children above 1 year): Give a teaspoon of honey mixed with warm water to help suppress the cough.
Saline nasal drops: If the cough is due to nasal congestion, saline drops can help clear the nasal passages.
2. Prevent Further Vomiting:
Avoid heavy or oily foods before bedtime.
Elevate his head slightly while sleeping to reduce mucus drainage into the throat.
3. Keep Him Hydrated:
Offer small sips of water, warm soups, or electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration.
4. Cough Relief Remedies:
Lukewarm turmeric milk (if your child tolerates dairy).
Ginger tea (mild and diluted for children over 2 years).
When to See a Doctor:
If the vomiting persists.
If he has difficulty breathing, high fever, wheezing, or persistent cough.
If he appears very weak or lethargic.
