Pat, Almost everyone drinks milk.
The kid whom you heard coughing, you asked her to take lemons? please be more specific if you could.
Thanks

Yes, I grew up with a bunch of siblings drinking milk and eating dairy products. I was the only one who got a cough from drinking milk. The others probably got some other symptoms. Hard to judge by just looking at someone.
Everyone has health problems in one form or another.
I was just lucky enough to have figured out that milk and dairy products were a big contributor to my cough.
Many people keep eating things they clearly know make them sick.

I did a search engine for the fruit tea my mother made me. She heard about it at Christmas time.
Apparently, it is called Christmas Punch in the hispanic society. She made it for Chrismas that year I had a couple of mugs. A year later, I came to realize that I had gone the entire year without coughing.
The recipe calls for fresh
sugar cane
cinnamon stick
pears
cloves
dried plums
(my mother used raisens instead of dreid plums)
Guava
sugar
oranges including the shell
lemons including the shell
apples including the pill
tejocotes (tiny orange type fruit that may be available at the flea market during Christmas time)
Tamarind (tamarindo available at hispanic stores)
Walnuts
You can make it with whatever fruits you have access too.

thanks for the effort Pat.
As of right no 7:20pm he is coughing every 5 minutes. I cant believe its been 5 full days of this. However this is no where as bd as the past couple of days. I promised homeopath Id give nothing else for 24 hrs after the Phos. I hope this isnt going to be a long night.

Dear Jay15,
Poor little guy, coughing every 5 minutes... Bless your heart. I've been there and I know it's as hard or harder on the parents when your child is sick. I'm praying that you will find the right remedy and he'll get relief soon.

Thanks for the kind thoughts.
Does anyone know of any cough medicines (non homeopathic) that will keep the throat coated/lubricated? I know this will work for him as whenver he sucks on a candy or is drining/eating he does not cough.

I think that if you can cut back on some of the milk and dairy products, you will see a significant improvement right way and homeopathy will also work much better without the gooy stuff being stuck inside of him.
I know how hard it is to give up drinking milk. I have extremely vivid recollection of how much I loved milk and of how addicted I was to it. I had to eat all of my food with milk when I was growing up. My siblings also all drank a lot of milk. We all ate a scoop of food and a sip of milk with everything. I remember going to the store daily to get milk by the gallons.
It's a miracle I was able to give it up completely.
You can attempt to get your son to switch over to soy milk. It comes in chocolate flavor also. Soy milk is easily available at any supermarket. I'm sure it is available in carob flavor as well.
You can switch him over to sherbert instead of ice cream. It comes in rainbow colors too. It not only looks good but it taste good too.
I know first hand how awful it is to be constantly coughing.
I really don't think you need to wait to find out if the homeopathy remedies work or not.
Your first priority is to do what you can to stop the coughing. Lemons and fruit punch and cutting back on the dairy products is not going to interfere with the results of the homeoapthy but enhance it instead.
The fruit punch taste absolutely delicious too. You don't have to tell him what it is. Just cook it and strain it and give him some.
The fruit needs to be cooked for 45 min to an hour and can be refrigerated
I hope someone will suggest a remedy for you also to help you with the stress.
Did you try the constitutional remedy siftware at [Moderated: Link removed; for being spam] for yourself?
Make sure both parents pray for your son.
When I pray, I normally get my inspirations first thing in the morning when I wake up. Try to pay attention for inspirations and guidance from God.
I will pray for you and your little boy so he gets better soon.

You can get slippery Elm lozenges which are available at the health food store and online also. They keep the throat very well coated and lubricated.
They come in either plain or flavored.
They are sugar free also so they will not hurt his teeth.
There is also a tea called Throat Coat by Traditional Medicinals. A lot of supermarkets and health food stores carry this tea.

I got the Throat coat, ts steeping. Now if only I can figure out how to get a 7 yr old to drink tea.
Jay 15 last decade
Put it in a baby bottle. I'm sure he will drink it that way.
Look into the slippery Elm Lonzenges too. They work excellent.

The easiest thing is to give him a cardamom to keep in his mouth and tell him to swallow the saliva mixed with cardamom flavour.
Also give him cardamom tea every day ..twice.
Cardamom is a natural throat soother and helps digestion in a major way.
In South Asia professional singer always keep a piece of cardamom in their mouth.

Jmalik, yes the honey. I have heard that. Right now he is sleeping quietly (unfortunetely with allopathic cough medicine) but I will try that in the night if he awakes.
Jay 15 last decade
I agree honey is great for soothing the throat.
I have heard that singers take a lot of honey with lemon for their throats. Some never sing without soothing their throats with honey and lemon first.

I found you a link for the Slipper Elm lonzenges, which he can keep in his mouth all day long if he wants to.
I have tried these before and they really do work very effecitively.

keep the tea. Maybe your son can give it another try now that it is cold
see if he can take a half cup each day until he can get used to the taste

Jay,
If you have concerns about your son's health if you get him off milk. Just know that it is possible that milk and any association to health may be a big hype.
I have a bunch of neices who inherited a desease from my brother-in-law that will kill them if they drink milk or dairy products.
They grew up on soy milk as oppose to cow's milk. All the girls grew up to be great big and very tall and very strong girls. By the time they were teenagers, they looked like grown adults not only due to their apopearnce but to their maturity, intelligence, and confidence.

He may need some help in cleaning toxins out of him not only from dairy products but from other things.
Get him used to taking lemon by making him lemon aid with fresh lemons.
Acidophilus is also known to be used to clean out our bodies.
You may eventually have to get him to eat fresh vegestables also. May be starting with celery and carrots with peanut butter And a lot of apples.
As he gets older his taste buds will change also so it will be easier to get him to eat healthier things.
Take care and hope he gets better soon.

The cough is finally on the mend. Down to every 10 to 15 minutes. Starting to loosen up a little. Also went back to school this afternoon with a pocket full of Slipery Elm throat Lozenges. Thanks to all for the assistance. Not looking forward to next coughing fit as Im still not sure what worked (if anything other than time helped at all)

Hello Jay
SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR SON.
At this time, it doesn't matter what worked. What's important is that something is working.
God is looking out for you for sure. I was having some terrible (and MULTIPLE) problems with my computer when I was trying to answer your post and suddenly it starting working. Have no idea what was wrong nor what fixed the MULTIPLE problem. Obviously God wanted me to help you.
I will continue to keep you and your son in my prayers.
