Cough is a common symptom experienced by toddlers, often caused by viral infections, allergies, or environmental irritants. Traditional remedies, such as a combination of lime and honey, are widely used in Indonesia due to their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lime and honey therapy in reducing cough symptoms in toddlers without pneumonia. A pre-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach was employed, involving 30 toddlers aged 1-5 years at Puskesmas Wayabula. The sampling method was purposive, ensuring relevance to research objectives. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with p<0.05.
Results showed that before therapy, 100% of respondents experienced cough. After therapy, only 30% continued to cough, while 70% experienced symptom resolution, indicating a significant improvement (p=0.000). The mean respiratory rate (RR) decreased from 36.16 (SD=2.45) before therapy to 34.00 (SD=3.37) after therapy, demonstrating a reduction in cough severity and improved respiratory function. The findings confirm that lime and honey effectively alleviate cough symptoms and lower respiratory rates.
This study supports the use of lime and honey as a natural, cost-effective remedy for non-pneumonia cough in toddlers. However, individual variations in response and the potential risks of honey for children under one year should be noted. Further research is needed to explore the broader applicability of this therapy and to validate its safety and efficacy across diverse populations.
