Onion hack for coughs!!

This is too good not to share. My little one has had a nasty cough and as you know it’s typically worse at night. She kept waking herself up multiple times and would be sleepy all day. I saw this TikTok about cutting a raw onion and leaving it in a bowl in babies room overnight (as close to them as possible but not within reaching distance). She did not cough once… honestly so bizarre but absolutely amazing! Prepare for an oniony odour in the morning but it clears as soon as the onion is removed. Totally worth it ! Let me know if you try it and if it works for you x

I will give this a go!

Does it only work for babies or toddlers & older children as well?

@Rachel all ages apparently xx

I’ll have to try this. We place a slice of onions in our socks and wear them at night when we are sick

What about for adults?

@Yasmin tried and tested here! I saw a video, also on TT, to do the same. It was the first night in about 10 days that we both slept through cough free!!! He’s not even coughing much in the day too😂🫶🏻 Best mum life hack ever
