Whooping Cough – Diagnosis & Treatment

Honey

Honey has long been used as a natural treatment for cough. It contains many components that can alleviate irritation inside the throats and prevent many allergy-related triggers of whooping cough. All you need to do is to combine a few drops of honey with hot tea and sip during the day. Also, consider eating a small amount before sleeping at night to calm coughs. Avoid giving honey to kids under two years old as it would lead to infant botulism, a severe form of food poisoning. [11]
