Adding to what Guylene said, I have also done the following . Have
used on both granddaughters
with good success. Have used different remedies at different times,
depending what was available to me when visiting my daughter, or whatever came
to mind.
Onion poultice on chest, can add essential oil mixed with olive oil if you
so choose
Mullein and lobelia neck wrap.
Take half a teaspoon of raw honey, add fresh squeezed lemon. Let it
dissolve well in mouth before
you swallow. Do not know age of son and how you feel about using
honey on children.
I have this mixture taking place now.. I put garlic pieces in mason jar and
fill with organic raw honey.
I leave it for 3 days , take out and discard garlic and store the garlic
honey mixture. Take it many times
throughout the day.
3 cloves garlic with honey( 1 tablespoon), and 1/8 tsp. cayenne. It reduces
cough and will soothe the
throat.
I, personally have used tea made from plantain and hyssop leaves
.
This worked great on a teenager, not sure about a child. Does not taste
that great, but it does work.
I got this recipe from Herbally Yours.
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
Mix and take by the teaspoon.. Did not say how many times to take. Had my
husband take 4 teaspoons, so he could get some sleep . He was fine next
morning.
Onions is basis of next formula. Great hystamine .
Take large onion, dice up and put in pan, cover onions with organic raw
honey and put in double
boiler over low heat. I left it there for 6 hours, but can leave it
less. Strain and take by tablespoon.
For my granddaughters, for each pint of honey , onion mixture,I have added
an ounce of the following.. Wild cherry bark,
licorice root, and this sure will get the phlegm coming up. My
daughter has asthma, and when
she gets bronchitis, and it goes to asthma, I add one ounce of horehound,
and that is good for
bronchial area.
Re: Whooping cough.. It usually goes thru 3 stages. In first stage, which
lasts one to two weeks,
the symptoms are those of a common cold, with runny nose, low grade fever
and slight cough. That
stage evolves into second stage called the paroxysmal stage. The
cough will become more violent
and occurs in outbursts of 20 or more successive , explosive coughs,
followed by a deep inhalation
and makes a whooping sound. Stage 2 lasts two to four weeks. The
third stage is the convalescent
stage , during which cough and other signs and symptoms subside. These
three stages are typical of youngsters' infections. I have never seen an adult
go thru the stages as mentioned.
But all in all, the above are all bandaids. One needs to get to the base of
the problem of why one
comes down with this. Need to follow what Guylene said about mucusless
diet, etc.Excellent advise
Hope this helps

I have, in the past, had trouble with a cough that
lasted for months.
I used Mullein and Lobelia formula....also comfrey. This
was the only
thing that I saw improvement with. Also for the coughing
Lobelia
extract works great.
Along with the above, garlic, and herbs
for nourishing the body is
important. Vitalerbs and Jurassic Green (taken
3-4times daily) . Or
even fresh wheatgrass would be best. Also, fresh
carrot juice. And may
I mention, and very important, the mucusless diet is
a must during the
time of healing. Alone, this would make an immediate
difference.
Dr C used to make a cough formula called
Comfrey-Mullien-Garlic Syrup.
I would highly suggest this formula. You will
notice a difference.
I don't think it is made any longer but the recipe may
be on the main
website.
I really hope this helps. Please keep us posted
on what works for you.
Be Well and
Blessings,
Guylene
