Kya chahiye

  • 1 chammach shahad
  • 1 cup halka garam paani
  • aadha nimbu ka ras (optional)

Kaise banate hain

Raat ko sone se pehle ek chammach shahad seedha chamche se le lein, ya ek cup halke garam paani me ghol kar aadha nimbu nichod lein. Paani ubalta hua na ho, bas peene layak garam. Din me do-teen baar le sakte hain. Bade bachchon ke liye aadha chammach kaafi hai. Shahad lene ke baad thoda ruk kar hi paani piyein taki gale par parat bani rahe. Raat ko lene ke baad dant zaroor saaf karein - shahad shakkar hi hai. Ek saal se chhote bachche ko kisi bhi roop me shahad na dein - infant botulism ka khatra hai; 1 saal se chhote bachche ki khaansi doctor ko dikhayein. Diabetes ho to shahad se sugar badhti hai, isliye yeh nuskha na lein.

Before bed, take a spoon of honey straight off the spoon, or stir it into a cup of warm water and squeeze in half a lemon. The water should be warm enough to drink, not boiling. You can take it two or three times a day. Half a spoon is enough for older children. Wait a little before drinking anything so the coating stays on the throat. Brush teeth after taking it at night - honey is sugar. Never give honey in any form to a baby under 1 year - there is a risk of infant botulism, and a cough in a baby under 1 should be seen by a doctor. If you have diabetes, honey raises blood sugar, so skip this one.

Parampara kya kehti hai

Ghar-ghar me maana jaata hai ki shahad gale par ek parat bana deta hai aur khaansi ko baithne nahi deta. Dadi-nani kehti hain ki adrak ke ras ya tulsi ke saath milakar dene se raat ki khaansi kam ho jaati hai. Ayurved me shahad ko kapha kam karne wala bataya jaata hai. Yeh sab parampara ka daava hai, ise waise hi padhiye.

Every Indian household holds that honey coats the throat and stops a cough from settling in. Grandmothers say that mixed with ginger juice or tulsi it quietens a night-time cough, and Ayurveda describes honey as reducing kapha. Read all of this as what tradition claims, not as fact.

Shodh kya kehti hai

Sabut milta-julta hai

Is poori list me sabse mazboot sabot yahi hai, par phir bhi baat pakki nahi hai. Cochrane ki 2018 review me 6 randomised trials aur 899 bachche shaamil the (umar 12 mahine se 18 saal). Nateeja: shahad, kuch na dene ya placebo ke muqable, khaansi aur raat ki neend par shayad behtar asar dikhata hai - certainty low se moderate. Cough syrup (dextromethorphan) ke muqable farak na ke barabar tha. Lekin Cochrane khud likhta hai ki shahad ke haq me ya khilaf koi mazboot sabot nahi hai, aur sabse badi kami yeh hai ki zyadatar bachchon ko sirf ek hi raat shahad diya gaya. NHS bhi hot lemon-honey ka zikr karta hai par saath likhta hai ki iska sabot seemit hai. Isliye grade 'supported' se ghata kar 'mixed' kar diya gaya hai. Dhyan dein ki review me sabse chhota bachcha 12 mahine ka tha - isse chhote bachchon ke liye shahad par sawaal hi nahi uthta.

This is the strongest evidence in this whole list, but it still is not settled. The 2018 Cochrane review included 6 randomised trials and 899 children aged 12 months to 18 years. Honey probably relieves cough and its effect on night-time sleep better than giving nothing or a placebo, at low to moderate certainty. Against dextromethorphan cough syrup it made little or no difference. But Cochrane itself states there was no strong evidence for or against using honey, and the biggest weakness is that most children were given honey for only one night. The NHS mentions hot lemon and honey but says the evidence for it is limited. That is why this was downgraded from 'supported' to mixed. Note that the youngest child in the review was 12 months - below that age honey is simply not an option.
