A member asked:

Is there some natural efficient medicine against cough in children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Honey: Nothing special, but mixtures of honey over 1 year of age have been shown to help a bit. It also depends upon the cause. Nasal or sinus drainage may be helped by saline nose drops.Moisture from humidifier also helps.
