Try Honey, Not Cold Medicine to Treat a Child's Cough

The next time your over 2 child has a cold, try skipping the kids' cold medicine, use some honey and call your pediatrician instead.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other children's health professionals have raised concerns about common over-the-counter remedies. The safety of these products and whether the benefits justify any potential risks from the use of these products in children, especially in children under 2 years of age is no being questioned.

In the US alone, more than 1,500 children under age 2 were treated in emergency rooms in 2004 and 2005 for problems related to taking cold and cough medicines.

Some drug-free ways to ease your child's symptoms are to provide plenty of fluids, including chicken soup, which is loaded with vitamins and minerals. One of the best ways is to offer a teaspoon honey and two drops of lemon juice in warm water to relieve a cough in a child over age 2.
