A recurrent episode of cough challenges the growth and development in children and their academic performances. Vamana is choice of therapy for kapha disorders including kasa. Chatushashti prahari pippali (CPP) is a form of fortified pippali churna indicated for vyadhiharana and rasayana purpose.

Changes assessed using graded features of Kaphaja kasa on CASA-Q questionnaire and assessment of Agni (Digestive capacity). The data obtained in the survey were tabulated and analysed using SPSS version 20. Results: statistically significant results observed in the graded clinical features of kaphajakasa with improvements in Agni.
