What can I do for my 4-year-old child's cough?

You can help alleviate your child's cough by giving them a teaspoon of honey diluted in water if they are over one year old. It is also recommended to clean their nose with saline water to prevent mucus from dripping into the throat, which can worsen the cough. Elevating their head with an additional pillow while they sleep may also help. Additionally, you can find more information on childhood coughs on the website Naître et Grandir.
