I always apply yogurt to my hair whenever I need to treat it for dandruff. Coat hair thickly with plain yogurt and wrap in a towel. Leave on for minimum of 20-30 minutes then rinse out. Wash is out with a mild Shampoo and skip the conditioner coz yogurt is a natural conditioner.
Whenever my kids get a cold/cough I give them some Honey mixed in with some Ginger juice. A few(8-10) licks during the day for 3-4 days and the Cough flies away.
For Little kids I would go easy on the Ginger juice.
Also some lemon and Honey in warm water at bedtime also helps kids recover quicker.
