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. Step 1

    Wash the fresh lemon thoroughly with soap and water.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the lemon thinly into small pieces including the skin.

  3. Step 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. Step 4

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

  5. Step 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. Step 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.
