Should I give herbal remedies for my 10-month-old's cough?

I don't recommend herbal products for a 10-month-old's cough. At this age, honey — even herbal honey — is absolutely forbidden before 12 months due to botulism risk. Herbal teas, oils, or mixtures lack sufficient scientific safety and dosing data in babies. The safest approach: plenty of fluids (breast milk or formula), humid air (steam), nasal saline drops and gentle suctioning, and if cough lasts 3-4 days, has fever, or causes breathing trouble, see your pediatrician right away. Don't start herbal treatments on your own.
