A MOTHER has shared her go-to remedy for soothing her baby’s cough.
Her fix is all-natural and she claimed it has never failed her.
The mother, named Niki Diwa, shared her strategy to help her sick baby’s cough on TikTok.
First, she cut up an orange into a thick slice.
“Prick it with a fork a few times and add white salt,” Niki wrote over the video, which showed her performing the step.
Then, she heated the orange in a microwave for a few seconds and squeezed the juice out.
Finally, she fed the juice to her baby with a spoon.
Niki concluded her video by telling viewers that following these steps will make a coughing child “feel better soon” – and TikTokers agreed.
“Yes, very effective,” one user wrote under the video.
“I tried it on my five-month-old baby and finally she’s okay.”
“Just tried this on my 18-month-old who coughs more at night and she coughed once and back to sleep!” an impressed mother commented.
“I can confirm that this remedy does work!” a third user exclaimed.
“My daughter has RSV; for a week every night she would cough a lot.
“I tried this last night and she did not!”
Several other parents commented that they would definitely be trying the trick on their sick children.
Many people also wondered if they could try the tip on themselves.
If you’re ever looking for a remedy for your own cough, the experts at Chemist Direct listed several strategies to help soothe your throat.
