Sick baby
My 15 month old has had a cough for a few days and had a fever a few days ago. Anyone know any home remedies for cough relief? I listened to her chest and I don’t hear anything abnormal, no crackling. She is congested and has a cough. Praying that it’s nothing serious cuz we do not have health coverage. Other than her being sick she’s completely healthy and is on track with her development. So calling on crunchy moms with home remedies.

My baby was sick and congested. I gave her Tylenol and it helped her fever and benadryl for her congestion. Also had a humidifier with Vicks by her at all times.
You're doing the absolute best thing by nursing ♥️ anything else will be for easing symptoms. Humidifier for the congestion and cough will help
Humidifier is great, or go steam up the bathroom and sit with her in it for 10-15 mins. You can also give warm clear liquids to help clear up chest congestion.
Yes! Breastfeeding all the way!! Using a humidifier with a bit of tea tree oil just a bit. Also honey and turmeric will kick that cough 100%. Not a lot of honey. It doesn’t take much really but a teaspoon of that mixture maybe two if your LO can stand it and it’s gone. It will soothe it right away. Helps coat the throat and turmeric helps with inflammation. Also eating pineapple and drinking natural pineapple helps soothe coughs but not as much as the honey/turmeric mix!
Humidifier, Vicks, one baby teaspoon of honey mixed with orange juice from the actual orange, saline spray, Ms Rachel and hugs/kisses
Great suggestions above but just to add, raw honey is the one you want. Any honey that isn’t raw or cold-pressed won’t have the right properties as it’s been heated up to a point that kills the natural enzymes, etc. and turns it into sugar.
Yes - only raw honey. I got mine from Africa it’s so raw I found a bee in it. 🤣
Rest, good sleep, nice warm soups like chicken noodle or veggie, homeopathy they sell Boiron brand at sprouts or wholefoods the ColdCalm homeopathy, there is also a homeopathy syrup called Hylands for day and night they sell it at cvs Walgreens target etc. Baby Vicks or vaporub on the chest and back at night bundled up, and on the feet with socks on at night. A nice steamy shower or bath to help with congestion and mucus. Keep them hydrated, pedialyte is good the grape flavor is my son’s favorite. And if she’ll take some tea with honey, you can do chamomile tea or ginger chamomile. A few drops of eucalyptus oil in the cool mist humidifier at night. Is they feel too unwell or fever, do children’s Tylenol and go see pediatrician to rule out any infections.
