Y’all! My daughter has absolutely coughed her little lungs OUT since last night. What soothes a cough?

Call your pediatrician for a phone consult to be sure it’s not whooping cough, pneumonia (going around right now). RSV or something more serious.

Also, humidifier, honey lemon weak tea (depending on age), warm liquids like soup made with bone broth, possibly Vicks Vapo Rub depending on age. See if it helps to raise her head while she sleeps like a bed wedge or pillows under the top of the mattress.

Maybe frozen smoothies to soothe her throat. You can also disguise cough medicine by mixing it in the smoothie.

Pineapple juice, honey and even warm jellatin liquid (like the jello mixture before you refrigerate it.) All of these used separately help with cough. Hope this helps. Personally I prefer using the honey in like a warm tea or if that doesn’t do the trick, then I try the warm jellatin mixture. :slightly_smiling_face:

Make a hot cup of tea and drop a Hall’s cough drop in…this worked well for my COVID and COPD patients.
