Children's cough has many causes and treatments. In addition to medications prescribed by a pediatrician to treat a child, there are many traditional medicines. Their effectiveness has been tested repeatedly, and their mild action, a minimum of contraindications and side effects make folk remedies widely used.

Egg potion

Egg potion can cure even the most severe cough that cannot be cured by modern medicine. This recipe is known by many grandmothers, who at one time quickly put anyone on their feet. Even severe bronchitis can be cured with this recipe! Much time has passed, but this ancient folk remedy is still used to treat cough.

To prepare an egg mixture, you must first boil a glass of milk. Then add a tablespoon of butter and honey. Also add well-beaten egg yolk and just a little baking soda, about 1/4 teaspoon. This is a very effective remedy, not only for coughs, but also for bronchitis, laryngitis and tracheitis!

Another milk based recipe. In ancient times, a very simple folk recipe was used to treat cough in children, which is still relevant today. Although the recipe is simple, it is very effective in treating cough, as you feel relief after the first use. First, bring half a liter of milk to a boil. When the milk comes to a boil, remove it from heat and add one tablespoon of pine buds. Let it brew for an hour - and you can drink. You need to drink the broth throughout the day. That's all. Then repeat the procedure as needed.

Lemon with honey and glycerin is a better cough remedy

This excellent recipe even helps with coughs, the cause of which is not always possible to find. It is not difficult to find its ingredients, their cost is quite democratic, which does not affect the effectiveness at all.

Algorithm for preparing a cough remedy:

• A medium sized lemon is thoroughly washed using a brush and punctured several times in the skin.
• Prepared lemon is boiled for 5 minutes over low heat, cooled.
• Squeeze juice from lemon in any way possible. The most convenient way to do this is with a citrus juicer.
• To the resulting juice add 25 ml of glycerin (2 tbsp. L), stir these ingredients in a glass of at least 250 ml.
• The volume remaining to the edges of the glass is filled with liquid honey, mixed thoroughly.
• The resulting product is insisted in a cool place for 2-4 hours.

The frequency of use, the dosage of the obtained medication depends on the severity of the child's condition, the intensity of the cough. If for an adult the volume of a single dose is 1 tbsp. l., then for children this dose is reduced by half. A mixture of honey, lemon and glycerin is used either half an hour before meals, or 2 hours after it, about 2-3 times a day. A strong cough is stopped using this recipe, taking the remedy 4-7 times a day.

You can speed up the preparation of this product if you do not boil the lemon, but pour boiling water over it, grind it with a blender until it is mushy. Honey and glycerin in this case remain in the same proportions.

Useful properties of the recipe:

• Stimulating immunity with a shock dose of vitamin C;

• Chop 2 to 3 medium sized onions, peeled and place in a shallow saucepan.
• Pour milk over the onions and boil them until soft.
• Add honey to the warm broth at the rate of one teaspoon for every 200 ml of liquid.

Half a glass of this onion honey is a single-use dose, an excellent remedy for chronic bronchitis.

Black radish with cough honey

For this recipe, an ordinary black radish is used, it is enough to find a small copy of this vegetable. It is washed with a brush, the core of the vegetable is cut with a knife so that a bowl-shaped notch is obtained. The removed core can be thrown away or used as an impromptu "lid", and 1-2 teaspoons of honey can be put in the depression. It is completely unnecessary to fill the recess with honey to the brim, since the juice that stands out, the most valuable substance, will then pour out of the recess.

For stability, the radish is placed in a glass or jar, left for 4-5 hours at room temperature. After the specified time, juice will stand out in the recess and mix with honey. Dosage for children - 3-4 times a day for 1 tsp, adults double the therapeutic dose. The course of treatment with black radish juice is from 1 to 2 weeks.
