3. Homemade honey syrup
Honey is one of the best know remedies used since yore. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of honey make it one of the best cough remedies. Since it can be combined with many other ingredients, there are many variations of this syrup. The main ingredients are honey and lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar (2-4 tablespoons of juice on ¾ cup of honey). Then you can add additional ingredients such as chopped onion and garlic, pepper, cinnamon or ginger, but children would probably hesitate to take syrup with those add-ins because of the strong taste. Also, keep note that children under 1 year should not use honey, or in just small portions (1-5ml).
