sorry to hear that... we have a local herbal and safe remedy here in the Philippines for coughs and phlegms... I'm not sure if it' available in other countries... It 's called Lagundi. It's both taken orally by children and adults here.... there's the capsule form and the syrup form...I prefer the syrup because it offers a very soothing effect on my throat.

poor little baby. I too worry a lot when my little daughter is sick. How old is your baby? Honey and lemon is a good alternative cough medicine. Is it flu season their? Maybe it is just viral and all your baby need is rest and plenty of fluids to get well.

if our child/ baby cough / colds, don't panic. No need to see a doctor. Try this way: ingredients: Honey + lemon juice (1:1) the way of create: lemon juice, strain and mixed with honey. then wrap with plastic wrap and steam for a minute. after that, let cool slightly, and Drinking to our baby every morning and afternoon (2x daily).

I know i don't need go to doctor if i will be go he will say "back too my if baby will have cough for 6 days" Honey and lemon it is good but I think for older children my is one year old and she don't eat yet honey .

Dear, I wouldn't recommend you to just rely on house treatments for your child. How long has she had her colds and cough? I suggest you better have her see a pediatrician immediately, she's just a year old. Her immune system is not that strong. I also tried self medicating my son when he was 3 and when his condition did not improve, I let him see a pediatrician, and he said that had it been too late, he might just have pneumonia.
