@dr.natnaelkifle: Clinical trials and systematic reviews indicate that a small dose of honey before bed decreases cough frequency and severity more than no treatment or a placebo. Honey has been found to be at least as effective as—and sometimes superior to—common OTC cough suppressants (like dextromethorphan) or antihistamines (like diphenhydramine), without the associated risks of pediatric medication side effects. Typically, a dose ranging from ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) to 2 teaspoons (10 mL) given shortly before bedtime is used in clinical studies. It can be swallowed plain or mixed into warm water or tea. Seek medical care if a cough lasts longer than 10 days, or if it is accompanied by high fever, difficulty breathing, or chest pain. #ethiopiantiktok #habeshamoms #pediatrician #healthtips #children
