Honey
In a recent cough-and-cold study by Ian Paul, M.D., of Pennsylvania State University's College of Medicine, this was rated as the best cough remedy. "It's thick and syrupy, and it coats where the irritant receptors are," explains Paul. It also causes salivation, which prevents dry coughs, and it is rich in antioxidants. Give kids 1 to 5 years old 1/2 teaspoon, kids 6 to 11 one teaspoon, and kids 12 and older two teaspoons. Though honey can sometimes lead to botulism in infants, it's fine for older kids.
