If it is a mucous cough, steamy air can help. Either take a shower with your little one or let them play in the bathroom while you have the shower running. I have also given Chase a bath in California Baby Cold and Flu aromatherapy bubble bath. It helps some too.

Little Remedies makes a honey elixir for children over the age of 1. Its not medicated but it really helps with coughs, it coats there throats so they stop hurting also.

Since our kids are older than 1 you can give them honey, the darker the better. In every study done comparing honey and DM cough syrup, honey works better every time at helping coughs. There is an article about it, I'll try and find it next time I'm at my computer.
