Honey: Recent studies have proven that you can give honey and it is effective and safe to children over 1 year of age. You can give it as often as needed. I usually recommend a cool mist vaporizer in the room at night too!

The fda does not recommend cough meds for 2 yr olds, but many pediatrician a will ok them under limited and carefully controlled conditions. Consult your child's pediatrician for the best advice on this controversial topic.

Cough: Honey, preferably buckwheat but others ok. Pediatric study revealed honey as cough suppressant superior to over counter products. Never give honey to child 1 year less. Herbal- elderberry syrup is safe, comes in brand name sambucol(?)- speeding- or herbal stores. Read instructions. German commissioni e in herbal pdr gives it thumbs up. Label should tell age range and dosing. Sips ginger tea from.

Kids cough: First u need to make sure it is a simple cough and not bronchitis or asthma. U should see ur pediatrician. If it is just a common cold and ur child has no fever, give plenty of fluids. Avoid yellow 5 and 6 colors in foods and food scontaining sulfites if wheezing.
