My 5 year old son has acute asthma and has a cough what can I give him??
During the attack massage chest with mustard oil mixed with little camphor. This will loosen up phlegm and ease breathing. Also, inhale steam from the boiling water mixed with caraway seeds (ajwain). It helps to dilate the bronchial passage.
Turmeric is regarded as an effective remedy for bronchial asthma. Take a pinch of turmeric powder boiled in a glass of milk two time daily. It acts best when taken on an empty stomach.
