 Best dry cough Remedies for children under 6 years

For children under 6 years, over-the-counter cough medicines like dextromethorphan are not recommended due to safety risks and lack of proven effectiveness.

 Home remedies provide safer relief for dry coughs caused by colds or irritation. 

Always consult a pediatrician before trying remedies, especially for infants.

Top Home Remedies

Honey (½ to 1 teaspoon at bedtime) reduces coughing in children over 1 year, outperforming some OTC options in studies; avoid it for babies under 1 due to botulism risk.

 Warm fluids like diluted apple juice or lemonade (1-3 teaspoons, 4 times daily for ages 3 months to 1 year) soothe the throat and thin mucus.

 Saline nasal drops or spray with suction clear postnasal drip, a common dry cough trigger, used 2-3 times daily.

Additional Supports A cool-mist humidifier or warm bathroom steam moistens airways to ease nighttime coughing.

 Elevate the child's head slightly during sleep to reduce drip. Plenty of rest and hydration aid recovery.

When to See a Doctor Seek medical help if cough lasts over a week, includes wheezing, fever over 100.4°F in infants, or breathing difficulty.

 These signal possible infections needing evaluation.
