    hi
    i can understand ur prblem as i have faced dis problem many times but dnt worry.
    i think ur baby is not eating bcoz he is not well,so dnt try to force him to eat
    try to change his attention so that he enjoy and then give him food in less quantity but after small interval.
    try it
    i think it will work
    and dnt stop his medicine

    Hi,

    Even I was in your position with my 5 year old from age 3 to 4 - She was on anti-biotics every month, she used to catch cold every month without fail.

    Then last year when we came to India in Vacation, we tried homeo and since then we were able to control her cold and cough bouts. i am so glad infact all of us are into homepathy now. and works well as against the common belief that it is very slow.

    BUT you have to find a GOOD HOMEO DOC. that is the only issue.Homeo can be administered for children above 6 months.

    Hi ,

    Understand ur situation.even my kid had same issue.
    Were u able to figure out what is causing cold often. climate change, rain, dust allergy or some food etc.try to note down each and every days climate , food etc. something might be different
    if u figure what is causing half ur problem will be resolved.
    Also if the cold is not too sever try not to start the antibiotic. but if u start atleast 3 days u should give medicine.

    some home remedies which can help - boil a small pod of garlic in milk and give to baby. garlic is said to help in recovering from cold.

    Anyways check with some elders in this forum.

    Regards
    Gayathri

    guys living in colder places need to be extra carefull. keep ur kids' legs , ears, hands covered by woolen cloth. keep a humidifier in the kids room.
    use heater to warm up the kids room. and also use carpets on the floor.And use diapers so that kids do not wet their clothes.

    Thats is what by Brother's family with a 1 yr kid who live in a cold country are doing.
