I am not sure on what to suggest especially for 2 yr old kid...

I once got wheezing and after that for almost 2 yrs i had slight wheezing almost every month when I get cold.

What doc suggested is
* Avoid citrus fruits - orange , lemon
* Avoid goose berry - as it trigger more
* Increase green leafy vegetables
* Avoid curd and banana at night .

Now it has reduced a lot and I can say nill...

What I want to say is it depends on what kind of wheezing . so please check with doc before trying anything new.

For some citrus fruits reduces as it has vitamin , but for some it aggravates wheezing ..

 

Reh
you are right about citrus fruits.Citrus fruits when given generally increase the body's resistance but during an infection say throat infection it should be avoided as it would aggravate the infection.

 

Dinny ...

I get cold easily if I eat citrus fruits ... So I avoid that mostly and sometime if tempted will have it one and mostly avoid at night ..
But many have asked me to take that when I have cold as vitamin C will help to reduce cold..

 

Hi OP,

my dd gets viral wheeze now and again. Is asthalin the same as salbutamol? If she has been exposed to the cold and seems to start having breathing trouble, I give her salbutamol a few times for a couple of days slowly reducing the dosage and prolonging the times between dosage as long as she doesn't worsen.
That apart, some other things I do.

1. heres what I read about the healing powers of turmeric. (Might be pseudo science, yet sharing it) Turmeric has a compound called curcumin in it whose healing powers are super high. However human body doesn't absorb it very well. However absorption of curcumin in the body increases 2000 times in the presence of a compound called piperine - which is available in abundance in pepper.

Summary pepper alone or turmeric alone is less effective than the two put together.

2. You could boil milk with turmeric and pepper, add misri or cane sugar in the end and serve it hot to your child.

3. Rub eucalyptus oil into your child's chest just as you feel a wheeze coming on. Also rub it on his feet and put socks on. A few drops on his pillow should help him breathe.

4. Shut the doors and windows of the bathroom, let super hot water run from the tap while you play with the child inside. The steam / humidity would help. A couple of drops of eucalyptus oil in this hot water also helps.

5. heat mustard oil with a couple of cloves of garlic, then apply it to your child's chest, sides, back and feet.

6. Buy pure camphor (not the one precut as small blocks but ones that are irregular shaped blocks.) perhaps from Ayurvedic medicine shops. Take a small chunk of camphor in a ladle along with a teaspoon of coconut oil. Heat it over a flame. If your child is happy to inhale the fumes, ok, else leave him. Once the camphor has dissolved and the oil is still warm, run it well on his torso and feet.

 

Dear OP, I totally understand your kid's situation as I am an asthma patient since my childhood..Only thing to control wheezing is to take precaution to avoid basic reason for wheezing..In your case it's cold climate.So avoid going outside maximum..If you have no other option cover his ear and nose (like with a shawl ) every time you go out..Still I go out like this way only ..Let him drink warm water(with tulsi or whatever) once you are back to clear his chest ...Give him only warm foods..I used to avoid even milk and yogurt all the time..Avoid contact with dust if he has allergy to dust as well...if your kid has wheezing even after following everything no need to wait for anything go with English medicine l..It gives a quick relief....You can try homeopathic medicines also .. I was on homeo medicine during childhood to control the allergy and once it goes out of my hand I always relied on asthalin for a quick relief...Homeopathy also has medicines for quick relief though..
