Children’s coughs can sometimes become very persistent and annoying. This is a very common symptom of colds and the flu, but it usually doesn’t become severe and can be controlled with some home remedies.

Since these colds are very common in winter, the immune system is weakened and the body is exposed to large amounts of bacteria and viruses.

In children, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician first and follow their instructions. We can also help with home remedies to relieve this annoying cough and significantly reduce symptoms.

Causes of cough:

It occurs when viruses irritate and inflame the upper respiratory tract, producing excessive mucus. It can be a sign of allergies, a cold, pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, etc.

In children, it usually appears suddenly and lasts up to 4 weeks, but it is not recommended to stop it as it is a natural response of the body to expel germs and clear the airways.

To relieve cough, bronchitis, and sore throat in children, there is a wonderful home remedy that magically eliminates them. It is based on banana and water. It is also beneficial for adults.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas

400 ml of boiling water

2 tablespoons of sugar or honey. (Add the honey when the mixture cools, as it loses its nutrients at high temperatures.)

Preparation:

Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork or wooden spoon to prevent them from turning dark.

Add the sugar and stir well.

If using honey, add it at the end when the mixture cools.

Pour boiling water over the mixture, cover, and let it steep for 30 minutes.

If desired, strain it through a plastic strainer.

Drink 100 ml hot, 4 times a day.

Always heat it before drinking.

Try it and you’ll see that your cough will stop in just a few days. Enjoy its flavor, too.
