POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. A dry cough in children is usually caused by a viral infection, allergies, dry air, or irritation in the throat. Here are some remedies and treatments you can try:
Home Remedies Steam Inhalation – Let your child inhale steam (supervised) to loosen mucus and soothe the throat. Warm Fluids – Offer warm water, soups, or herbal teas (like honey and ginger tea for kids above 1 year). Honey – If your child is above 1 year, give a teaspoon of honey to soothe the throat. Turmeric Milk – Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric can help with cough relief. Humidifier – Use a humidifier in the room to add moisture to the air, especially at night. Saltwater Gargle – If your child is old enough, gargling with warm salt water can reduce throat irritation. When to See a Doctor If the cough lasts more than 10 days. If there is fever, wheezing, difficulty breathing, or persistent night coughing. If the child has chest pain or is too weak.
