Want to Relieve Your Child's Respiratory Symptoms Naturally? Try This! Kids' Health

For many people, one of the best remedies for a sore throat is warm tea with honey. But honey can be a great cough suppressant as well. Research shows that children 2 and older who had upper respiratory tract infections and were given up to 2 teaspoons of honey at bedtime seemed to have reduced coughing and improved sleep.

In fact, the study showed it was as effective as over-the-counter cough suppressants. Many cough medications aren’t helpful and can even be dangerous to kids. If your children are older than 2, this may be a great way to help relieve symptoms while keeping them safe.
