7 Ways to Calm a Cough Your Pediatrician

Every cold and flu season many children come down with a head cold that results in a

cough. Coughing can be uncomfortable and downright irritating if its strong andpersistent or keeping everyone up at n ight. It may be annoying, but it is the bodys way of

trying to expel all the bugs that make us sick and clear out phlegm that clogs our

breathing tract. Hearing your child cough night after night can be enough to tempt you

to give them over-the-counter cough medicine.

Im not going to sugar coat this: Over-the-counter cough syrup doesnt work for children.In

fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) does not recommend the use of cough

medicine at all in children under age 6 because they dont work and are unsafe (1). Most

cough and cold medicines contain dextromethorphan (DXM) which can be harmful and

even fatal in about 5% 10% of children who cant properly metabolize it.(2) Dont take

my word for it, here is what the AAP has to say on over-the-counter cough & cold

medicines for kids:

Stop a Cough Naturally

If medicine doesnt work what else can parents do to help treat a childs cough beyond

rest, fluids, humidifier and cough drops? Here are seven natural ways calm a cough your

pediatrician wont tell you about.

1. Pediatric Tuina Massage for Cough

Whether your child has a wet, dry, hacking or croupy cough these massage techniques

work by stimulating the body to heal it self while simultaneously treating the cough. Please

see my post Treating Cough with Pediatric Tuina Massagefor instructions on how to do this

massage on your child. I also have a video so you can see how to do it. Kids love it, it feels

great and it makes them feel better. The best part is its safe, ef fective and can be used at

any age.

2. Honey & Lemons

Ok, youre pediatrician might tell you about honey because it is offici ally recommended

by the AAP for cough, but you dont want any ordinary highly processed honey bear.

What really works is raw, dark amber honey. Buckwheat honey has received the most

research for cough, but you can use any dark amber raw honey like avocado or

blackberry. Local dark honey is great, too. I use local raw Uvas Gold Apiary Honey for

coughs in the winter and allergies in the spring.

Honey Dosage for Cough

For children ages 2 to 5 years use 1/2 teaspoon, children between 6 12 use 1 teaspoon

and children 12 year and older use 2 teaspoons. It can be given 2 4 times daily as

needed for cough. CAUTION: For children 12 months or younger do not give them honey.

Lemon and Honey tea is a great way to soothe a sore throat and calm a cough. Honey

helps to break up mucous and the astringent nature of lemon juice does the same thing

while also providing vitamin C. Here is a recipe from NourishingJoy.comfor a Homemade

Cough Syrup . NourishingJoy.com also recommends an easy-to-make cough syrup using a

ratio of 1 TBS honey & 1 tsp lemon juice.

TIP: Dont buy honey cough syrups from the drug store. They may contain honey and herbs

but most also have preservatives and natural flavor which is food industry code for a long

list of chemicals we arent required by law to reveal on the label. Honey is yummy and itshouldnt require natural flavors to be palatable!

Eliminate Dairy

Why give up dairy? It creates or adds to mucous production.Even if your child can

normally tolerate dairy, take it out of their diet while theyre sick, especially if they have a

wet phlegmy cough. It will lessen the phlegm and the burden of getting rid of it through

coughing.

Herbal Tea

Herbs like licorice root, mullein, sage leaves, wild cherry bark and slippery elm can be

made into a tea with a little honey to calm a cough. If youre in a rush or you dont have

these herbs on hand you should be able to pick up a tea calledJust for Kids Throat Coat

by Traditional Medicinals. Throat Coathas many of the herbs recommended above and

its formulated with kids safety and tastes in mind. Its usually avai lable in grocery stores

and it has a very pleasant taste for a medicinal tea. Its not only good for cough but

works for sore throats too.

Essential Oil Chest Rub

Essential oils can help break up chest and nasal congestion when used in a chest rub. But

if youre like me you dont want to use petrochemicals, like those contained in Vicks

Vapor Rub. Instead you can mix a drop each of eucalyptus, peppermint and sage

essential oils in about 2 TBS of organic olive oil and make your own herbal oil. If you prefer

a salve, then try this recipe from NourishingJoy.com for a vapor rubor you can pick

Gaias Warming Vaporous Rub, a safe pre-made chest rub, availab le at your local health

food store.

Essential Oil Steam Bath

A warm steamy bath can also help a nighttime cough. Start a hot bath using the shower,

close the bathroom door and let the room get steamy. Add a few drops of eucalyptus or

sage into the tub to soothe a cough and open up the chest.

Organic Poached Pears with Cinnamon

This is a personal favorite for dry, tickley coughs. Eat 1/2 to 1 pear before bed. It is so

delicious and it feels great on a dry, scratchy throat.

Directions:

1. Wash & core pears

2. Halve pears lengthwise

3. Sprinkle flesh with cinnamon and put a cinnamon stick in the core.4. Put in a pyrex glass baking dish with the fleshy part + cinnamon stick down

5. Add about 1/2 water to the pan

Bake at 350 until the pears are soft and the skins are easy to pull off (20-30 min). Wi ll store

in the fridge for 3 4 days.

DIYNaturals.com offers a deliciously simple recipe for herbal tea to treat colds and flus.

OhLardy.comrecommends this vapor-rub salveapplied to the feet at night to stop

nighttime cough in its tracks. Ive only heard of this recently and havent tried it

myself, but from what I can tell, crazy as it might seem, parents say really works. Next

time my kids have a nighttime cough Im going to try it.

Need more ideas? How about a anti-viral cinnamon-honey elixiror a recipe for

honey-lemon-ginger tea. Youll find a round up of natural cold and flu remediesat the

end of this post from the bloggers at Village Green Network.

Common Sense Caution

If you have questions or concerns about your childs cough you should contact a

medical doctor or qualified health care provider like an acupuncturist or naturopathist

specializing in pediatrics.

RED FLAG: Coughing may be due to another more serious illness. If a cough comes on

suddenly with high fever, restlessness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, lethargy, chest tightness

and/or difficulty swallowing your child may need immediate medical attention.

If a lingering cough is associated with wheezing, chest tightness, difficulty breathing it may

be a sign of asthma.

Rarely, but sometimes, a chronic cough may be caused by tuberculosis.

Thanks. Some great advice. Another thing you may want to highlight is

Propolis spray for sore throats.

My mom would also make a salad that had red onions, lemon, salt, and garlic. You

can eat the salad or drink a shot glass of the juice from the salad with honey for flus,

colds and coughs.

My 4 kids all have asthma, sometimes the honey helps and sometimes it

to kick without albuterol Do you have any suggestions specifically for asthmatic kids?

I hate giving my kids steroids

REPLY

Robin Greensays:


Melissa,

I totally understand not wanting to use steroids for you kids cough. The only general

advice I can give for a persistent asthma cough is to avoid processed foods,

artificial colors and flavors as they can contribute to inflammation (an underlying

process in asthma). I have had a lot of success treating persistent lingering coughs in

asthmatic kids with acupuncture (both needle and non-needle techniques) and

herbs. There are some fantastic herbal formulas that can help safely and effectively

open the air ways, but you would need an acupuncturist to prescribe them.Acupuncture can helps stimulate the body to heal itself. For more info on how

acupuncture can help asthma, check out my guest blog post on

by and my husband was getting irritated and wanted antibiotics so I asked for them,

for all four kids, they all had it. W e got our Zpacs, which did nothing. So I went back to

my favorite health care provider (DNP) who is an hour away. She muscle tested my

daughter and came up with a positive for mycoplasma. Prescribed a longer course of

azythromycin, to no avail. Second attempt was Cipro, for another long round. Nada.

Then she said o.k., no more antibiotics (this is why shes my favorite, and BTW, she has

never prescribed antibiotics for myself or my children before, this was a special case.)

Then she said sports induced asthma and put my daughter on a couple inhalers, one

of which was steroid but only for one month, to see if we could at least achieve a little

healing in the lungs. Still not much results. Meanwhile I had been trying everything in

my mama arsenal: loads of broth, vitamin C, nettles, garlic on the soles of her feet,

colloidal silver, NAC you name it, we probably tried it. Still, not so much for healing.

Finally our DNP recommended accupuncture and referred us to a friend who lived in

our neck of the woods. After one treatment my daughter slept through the night for the

first time in months. Three more and we stopped, because she seemed to be doing

much better, no symptoms and money, among other things was running low!

REPLY

Robin Greensays:


Oh my goodness, Beth! What an amazing story. Its a real testament to

how acupuncture can stimulate the body to heal itself. In my practice Ive had acouple cases similar to your daughters and its amazing how just a few teeny tiny

needles can make such a big difference. Thanks so much for sharing!

REPLY

Beth Aikensays:


Robin,

I had more to the story which I tried to post as a reply but for some reason it just

disappears into cyberspace.

Bottom line is I came across some information, in my never ending search for

complete healing for my daughter, which said that the herb mullein is THE herb

for lungs and milk is THE food for lungs. I am using it now: a strong mullein infusion

mixed in equal parts with milk (in our case it is raw milk), heated to the point of

steam around edges of pot and sweetened with honey.

I am interested in the origin of the milk causes mucus theory and if, in fact, you

have experience that would prove it to be true.

REPLY

Robin Greensays:


Beth,

Thats very interesting about the mullein and milk. In TCM herbology, certain

herbs will have specific actions on the organ systems. Mullein certainly

connects and affects the lungs. Wi th regard to milk, the whole mucus issues

relates to 1) drinking pasteurized milk which is devoid of the enzymes that

help the body digest it and 2) in TCM, rich foods tend to create dampness,

i.e. phlegm, in a person who is vulnerable to dampness (like someone with a

wet cough). I have seen many children in my practice where eliminating

dairy allows the body to heal from coughs and chronic low immunity. In some

cases, reintroduction of raw dairy later doesnt cause the child to be

symptomatic.

While going through your website, it was such a relief to know that there are

so many parents who believe in home remedies. Honey Lemon syrup remedy is quite

handy, I am going to try this out today itself for my son.

My son has started going to creche since past 4 months and since then i have

observed that he is getting cold and severe cough ( which develops into phlegm )

every month. Doc told me he is prone to bronchilitus thats the reason he is getting

infected so frequently, but i cant see him taking those buckets full of medicines and

nebulizer any more. If you have any other suggestions please let me know it will be

great help ! By the time am trying all possible solutions available in my kitchen which

might soothe his coughing.

Robin Greensays:


Hi Deepika,

Home remedies are a great start. If you think your son needs more support I would

recommend working with a pediatric acupuncturist that can give me advice that

will be customized for his specific situation. Let me know how the honey-lemon-
