Kids cough.

That tickly, harsh sound your kid makes, trying to clear their throat or chest. It's the body's way of pushing out mucus or irritants from the airways, and it usually points to something like a cold, flu, or mild infection.

Takes As needed

Honey for acute cough

Over the counter

Honey (2.5 to 10 mL) probably reduces cough frequency and severity more than no treatment or placebo in children over 1 year, and possibly more than diphenhydramine. Honey performs similarly to dextromethorphan on symptom scores.
