Can you suggest some herbal or home remedies for a recurring cough for my 3 yr old child?

Dr. Josephine Ruiz-healy answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Why is he coughing: The fact that he has a recurrent cough is somewhat bothersome. The best medicine is always finding the cause. If your child just has a plain cold with a cough, there are some cough medicines that are a bit more "natural" if you will. Youay want to try zarbee's all natural cough syrup. Be aware it is not recommended for kids under a year old.
