How to suppress coughing specially for young children

Coughing is common to young children because their resistance is not as strong as that of adults. There is a very simple way and yet very effective in curing cough specially for young kids. I've tried it and it does good for me.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 pcs. of fresh lemon
• a bottle of honey
• a glass of hot water
• clean glass jar

1. Wash the fresh lemon thoroughly with soap and water.

2. Cut the lemon thinly into small pieces including the skin.

3. Put the sliced lemon into a clean jar. Pour out the honey over the sliced lemon in the jar until it is all covered.

4. Put the jar with lemon in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. (and always keep it refrigerated every after using).

5. Put 2tbsp of that mixture in a glass of hot water and let your patient drink it. For little kids, just 1/2 glass of lukewarm water and 1tbsp of the mixture.

6. Do this 3 times a day. For worse coughing, do it every 2-3 hours. Always Keep the jar of honey and lemon mixture in the refrigerator.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the lemon and honey mixture refrigerated.
• You can add more of the mixture in your glass of water depending upon your taste.
