In recent years, experts have suggested that honey is more effective than drugs in treating coughs. The study showed that honey was more effective than dextromethorphan or no treatment in reducing the severity and frequency of nighttime coughs, and that honey helped children sleep better. However, the researchers warned that honey should never be given to children under 1 year old because it could cause botulism. It also mentioned that medicines that list "honey" on the ingredient list actually just contain artificial honey additives.

Bring vinegar to a boil and set aside after cooling. Take one teaspoon each time, swallow slowly, several times a day. Vinegar tastes sour and sweet, and is neutral in nature. It has the functions of dispersing blood stasis, detoxifying and reducing swelling. It is used to treat pharyngitis and cough, and is effective in eliminating throat itching. The child was seen coughing due to itching, and the coughing was worse when exposed to wind. As the saying goes, "If you have an itch, you will cough and it can't be stopped."

Stop eating when you recover from the illness. Eating too much will damage your teeth and stomach.
