Cough, as common as it is, never makes this first time mom relaxed. I also don't want my little one or any one in the family get used to antibiotics, so besides prescribed and/or over-the-counter cough medications, I embrace reasonable home remedies and save some bucks.

Brew some
‘thyme’ and stop hooting! Dried or fresh, calms bronchial spasm and loosens
phlegm.
 |

Gnaw it away with ‘Black Pepper Seeds’! Two to five seeds will do. Add dried grapes
or sugar candy for pleasanter chewing.
 |
| almonds & wallnuts (photo not mine) |

Give a grind to ‘Almonds and Walnuts’! Naturally warming and sweet-flavored. Reduces
aching and inflammation. Roast some and kick off coughing.

Juice up ‘Calamondin
aka Calamansi’! Bursting with antibiotic and antiviral components. An expectorant
for respiratory troubles.
 |

Breathe in some Eucalyptus! An herbal remedy for respiratory illnesses, cough
particularly. Inhale deeply for few minutes and your good to go.

Go ‘honey’
go! A proven cough suppressant and has that great soothing effect. Mildly
acts as antibiotic. Honey alone is beneficial but add-ons are great too. Such with
lemon; hot water; warm milk; apple cider vinegar; and what is more.
As of experience, honey works best for me especially when i was preggy and Calamondin aka
Calamansi for my one-year-old son. Grab what suits you best and give your
pockets some rest!
