Honey, steam.: Honey is a safe an natural remedy for cough in a 3 year old. It's actually better than a lot of over the counter cough medications. Steam helps with the congestion - again, all natural.

See pediatrician: The best method is to find out the cause of the cough. Is it a cold, a sinus infection, whooping cough, pneumonia? The best way to find out is to see your pediatrician. They have the expertise to diagnose and treat that bad cough.
