Herbal Medicine for Cough (especially for children)

Tweet

A lot of parents dont want to give chemical medicine to their children because of many reasons. A lot of parents also dont want to be in rush to prepare herbal medicine by themselves because it needs to search the ingredients, prepare all of the things in exact measurement, and many more. But for some people, it's challenging. Like me, I always find herbal solution to all of the health problem in my family. This time, I want to share about herbal medicine for cough (dry or with phlegm) as my experience. This recipe has been tried on 2 years baby. 1. Ginger (as you want) 2. Clove (8 pieces) 3. Cinnamon (1-2 pieces) 4. Cardamom (3 pieces and take the seeds only) 5. Honey (for taste) Boil 1-4 (except honey) with 120 mL of water. The main ingredient is Ginger yet another ingredients are optional. That combination will give the warm sense in the throat and kill the bacteria living in the upper throat. For the additional treatment : 1. dont give any oily food though it's just a little and too much sugar. 2. brush the teeth minimum twice a day. 3. give high protein and vitamin A and C for the diet (egg, lever and meat contain great value of vitamin A and protein. For vitamin C, give Papaya). 4. drink the herbal medicine everytime your child finishes his meal or milk for 3-5 spoons. The effect can be seen in 1-2 day.
