Hi
Some people are sensitive to certain foods, which may cause or aggravate there complaints. Like cold yoghurt may cause cough in some, or icecream may cause sore throat, but it doenst happen to evryone.
If your kids are taking yoghurt comfortably since a while, then there is no harm in givin it. Provided that its not frozen and is fresh.
Also, warm water, warm drinks, steam inhalation will help loosen mucus and relive cold & cough.
For recurrent infections you can give them homeopathy , safely.
