A. For a dry cough, here are some remedies that might help: 1. Hydration: Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids, such as water, herbal teas, or warm broths. Staying hydrated helps keep the throat moist. 2. Honey: For children over one year old, a small amount of honey can soothe the throat and help reduce coughing. Avoid honey for children under one year due to the risk of botulism. 3. Humidifier: Use a cool-mist humidifier in your child's room to add moisture to the air, which can help ease coughing. 4. Steam Inhalation: Let your child breathe in steam from a bowl of hot water or during a warm bath. Ensure they are supervised to avoid burns. 5. Ginger and Turmeric: For older children, a mixture of ginger and turmeric in warm water or milk can have soothing properties. 6. Saline Nasal Drops: If nasal congestion is contributing to the cough, saline nasal drops can help clear mucus. 7. Avoid Irritants: Keep your child away from smoke, strong odors, and other irritants that can worsen a cough. If the cough persists for more than a few weeks, is accompanied by other symptoms like fever or wheezing, or if you’re unsure about the cause, consult your pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.
