There are several studies of the recent past stating Honey is best or equally effective in treating and soothing cough in children compared to OTC cough syrups!
Whats more? Giving a warm cup of milk with a teaspoon of honey before going to bed. This will clear congestion and prevent coughs and aids in sound sleep in children. I have tested this my self for 6 months as my kid was often suffering with bouts of cough, cold and sore throat.
In Milk? Might be a question, but yes give it with warm milk and it will not cause any problem. Incase the child is asthmatic only then you can use honey with warm water.
Now which honey to buy ? What type? and How much to give?
I suggest honey without any flavours just plain raw honey. I have tried Coorg Honey available in several supermarkets in India, Girijan honey from Khadi bhandars, and Dabur honey all the three brands are safe and of good quality.
So make a routine add honey in your kids diet as a regular 🙂 Just give one teaspoon of honey in 1 cup of warm milk.
