You can start giving ginger juice and honey mixture to your child that’s one of the best home remedies I can suggest you you can add a pinch of black pepper and Tulsi into that that is also going to help apart from that nebulising is actually very good as it truly has a lot in reducing down the congestion from the chest throat and nose of your child
