My mum used to give us warm juice when we had a cough, and I have always done it for my kids too. It's quite soothing, and also a great way to encourage fluids during a cold when lots of fluids are being lots through coughing mucous and sweating with fever.
I haven't heard of it either, but can imagine how it would be quite soothing. Personally, I would water the juice down for your DD though - it's a lot of sugar for her to take in in one hit if she's not used to it.
Interestingly the Dr I ended up taking DD to yesterday said she wouldn't recommend it!
I did try a 50:50 mix of juice and water to disguise her antibiotics, and she wouldn't have a sip of it. Sigh. Poor bubba has pharyngitis Having to force her to take her antibiotics (5mls) four times a day for 10 days!!
why did the dr not recommend it?
i havent heard it but i guess it isnt a dfar cry from lemon and honey. i make that for DS1 (who is 4) when he is sick.
i would water down the apple juice.
