Suctioning the nose is another option, as well as acetaminophen for fever, and another old standby: 'Lots of fluids,' says Alanna Levine, a pediatrician in Tappan, N.Y. For children older than 1 suffering from a cough, she also recommends a spoonful of honey, she says. Honey isn't recommended for babies because of the possibility it carries spores that could lead to botulism. One key goal in trying to soothe coughs is to help toddlers get adequate sleep, doctors said.

纽约州塔潘(Tappan)的儿科医生莱文(Alanna Levine)说，另一种选择方案是吸鼻涕，还可以用对乙口胺基酚来退烧，另外还有老话所说的“多喝水”。她说，一岁以上儿童咳嗽时，她建议可以喝一勺蜂蜜。但不建议婴儿喝蜂蜜，因为蜂蜜里可能会含有孢子，会导致肉毒杆菌中毒。医生说，镇咳的主要目的是帮助幼儿获得充足的睡眠。

Jennifer Chang, the mother of a 9-month-old and a 3-year-old who see Dr. Levine, has tried a honey-based preparation, as well as steamy showers and hydration.

住在纽约州奈阿克(Nyack)的Jennifer Chang有两个孩子，一个九个月大，一个三岁，他们在莱文医生那里看病。Jennifer Chang试过蜂蜜配方制剂，还试过淋浴蒸汽和让孩子多喝水。

'It seems like there's not a whole lot you can do,' says Ms. Chang, of Nyack, N.Y. 'I want to make it feel better.'

Jennifer Chang说：“你似乎没有太多可做的。但我很想让孩子舒服一点。”
