A Brooklyn family woke up to a nightmare when a father’s attempt to alleviate his son’s cough went horribly wrong.
The 1-year-old, Mordechai Halpern, woke up around 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 14 with a bad cough. The father gave the baby a bottle of water with lemon juice and sugar, but Mordechai continued to cough.
