What home made remedies are effective for kids aged 4 years if he has chest congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Honey: Believe it or not, dark honey can be very effective in lightening chest congestion in children over a year of age (and even adults too!). A humidifier or even going in the bathroom and inhaling the mist from a hot shower can also be beneficial if you are trying to avoid "medication" for the chest congestion.
