    Cough and congestion remedies!

    Hi Friends,

    I am posting after a long break coz my baby keeps me so busy :spinwhole day(she sleeps for just half hour in the afternoon) though she is not crawling yet but rolling a lottt!!!

    I need your help as she is having cough and congestion for a week and now she is having runny nose also. Since 2 days she is coughing so much and losing her appetite day by day also. Please suggest some home remedies bacause when I called her Pedi she said it could be because of teething or flu and suggested to give her steam and use humidifier. I am already doing all that but her condition is not improving is there some "kadha" kind of thing for infants like we adult drink when we catch cold and cough. I fixed an appointment with her pediatritian for tomorrow but I cant see my baby suffering till then and afterwards(as I know they are not going to give any medicine shakehead).

    Thanks
    V n baby

    My son is 1.5 yrs. Till now he didn't have cold. Now he is having cold and fever for more than 1 week. I am giving milk with turmeric and pepper powder.and also I gave medicine for 3 days then I stopped.
    But he is not improved. He is not sleeping properly and not eating anything except milk.

    Hi VN baby

    How many months is your child? For my 2.5 yr old pedi suggested to take juice of shallots(small onion) about 1 spoon and add 1 or 2 drops of honey and give. It's very very effective. This was suggested for my 2.5 yr old, not sure if it can be tried for youger babies.

    Stephane u can make porridge out of broken rice and give. You can use boiled rice. This is the best food for kids when they r down with fever or cold, they will never throw out even if there's too much phelgm.

    Have you thought of Ayurvedic medicines as an option, they are a good alternative and are safe too.

    Hi,

    try this out. it has worked wonder for my kids as well as for other kids. hope it works for your kid. wishing
    your child a speedy recovery.

    To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.
