For a wet cough in toddlers, you can try these Indian home remedies:

1. **Turmeric Milk (Haldi Doodh):** Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric can help soothe the throat and reduce cough.

2. **Honey and Ginger:** Mix a teaspoon of honey with a few drops of ginger juice. Give this mixture to your toddler to ease coughing.

3. **Tulsi (Holy Basil) Tea:** Boil tulsi leaves in water, strain, and add a little honey. This herbal tea can provide relief from cough and congestion.

4. **Ajwain (Carom Seeds) Steam:** Inhaling steam with ajwain seeds added to hot water can help clear respiratory passages.

5. **Warm Soups:** Nutrient-rich soups with ingredients like garlic, ginger, and vegetables can be beneficial.

Always consult with a pediatrician before trying home remedies, especially for toddlers. If the cough persists or worsens, seek professional medical advice.
