I don't think ur supposed to give babies honey until they are 1 year old. I think it could cause an allergice reaction.

i know DOC said that BUT RAYAN is taking honey sice he is born,,, sshhhhhhhhhhhhh and MASHALLAH he is doing fine.. u know its in the HOLY QURAN that honey has ,,shifa,,, so we r giving him and specially now he is sick so he needs green tea with honey...

DOC doesnt know 100%,,,

Here is one of many links whih explains why you should never give honey to an infant under age 1:

Why Shouldn’t Infants Eat Honey?

Please. if you aren’t satisfied with the answer that your baby’s doc gave you then seek out a new doc.

Re: 6 month baby has dry cough?

try giving him some steam....do you use a humidifier in his room? They have the liquid vicks that u can put few drops in humidifier, that should help. Be careful with Vicks, do NOT put any on his nose or anywhere near his face. I recently read an article on Babycenter.com how Vicks can be used unsafely and cause some breathing issues.
Or just run the shower super hot for like 10-15 minutes, the bathroom should steam up....just hold rayan in the bathroom for a few minutes so he can easily take in the steam like that.

In general, most Pediatricians would be against giving such a young infant an over-the-counter cough and cold medication. Some believe that they simply don’t work and others are concerned that the risk of side effects is simply too high.
best things to do is:

  • cool air humidifier(A cool mist humidifier might also help if your child is very congested. )
  • drinking extra fluids
  • rest and decreased activity, especially avoiding physical activity that may make the cough worse
  • saline nasal drops, with bulb suctioning for newborns and infants

Galay pay balghum jama ho kar sookh janay ki soorat main dry cough hoti hai.

Dry cough say chutkara panay kay liaay bulgham ko loos karna ho ga.

Balghum ko loose karnay kay liaay buchchay kay seenay aur galay aur peeth par vicks laga kar Iron say koi cotton ka doppatta ya kapra jo faltoo ho garam kar kay pahlay aapnay koni kay paas haath kay undrooni hissay pay laga kar daikhain kay bohat ziada garm na ho. Roz ana jitni ziada saik saktay hon saikain. aur raat ko specialy sonay say pehlay is kay ilawa dahk kar rakhain. Insha Allah Faida ho g.

Buchchay kay saath yay kabhi naheen kia hai laikin baron kay saath aisa kia hai aur jaldi araam aya hai. Insha Allah Allah shifa day ga.

Ulti honay say bhi buchchay ka balgham nikalta hai is liaay us say faida hota hai. Ulti honay ki soorat main kamzori bhi hoti hai.

What I notice kay meethi cheezon say, doodh say, apple say khansi barhti hai. Banana kay baray main to sub hi kahtay hain khansi hoti hai.

Koi aisi ghiza na dain buchchay ko jo thundi ho ya thunda asar rakhti hoon.

Chai denay ka idea achcha hai laikin buchchay ko bohat garam chai to day naheen saktay.

Dua bhi Allah say karain dawa bhi dain aur Ahtiaat bhi Insha Allah theek ho jaay ga.

Shahad khilanay say kamzori naheen ho gi. Shahad tawanai aur shifa ka zaria hai bamutabiq quran jaisa kay aik nain ooper kaha hai. Shaha asli hona chahyay.
