FAQ:
Q: Can children take this syrup?
A: Yes, but only children over 1 year old, due to the risk of botulism with raw honey in younger infants.
Q: Does it really work?
A: While not a replacement for medical care, this syrup can naturally reduce coughing, thin mucus, and ease throat irritation.
Q: How often can I take it?
A: Up to 4–5 times per day as needed, especially during active coughing spells.
Q: Can I reuse the onion slices?
A: It’s best to make a fresh batch each time. The onions lose potency after one infusion.
