Worried abt my son health Help me.............

Cough and cold are always common with Kids(especially Kids who start with schooling).As they are exposed to a totally new atmosphere it takes time for them to get immuned. Same happened for my son last year. he used to fall sick predominantly during July-August of every year (The Time school begins and things start settling down).As long as the Dr is fine abt the kid's health there is nothing much to worry.

 

Dear ManjuMa
It appears your son has a high eosinophil count, and is prone to allergens which are pretty common these days (what with the global warming and stuff!!!)...this becomes even worse in the middle east taking into consideration the 24 x 7 A/C, carpets, dust, hot-humid climate, sand storms and life style.
May I suggest a few things which may be helpful to improve the situation? (but this will not just go off 100%, just reduce the number of attacks per year.)
1) Get rid of any carpets/rugs/cats/dogs. Keep the floors clean and mop it in plain hot water. Do not use detergents/clorex/ freshners daily to mop the floors.
2)Few neem leaves, tulsi added to bath water will leave him refereshed and have bacteriocidal properties !
3) Ask the bldg. maintenaince to check the A/C filters and clean them atleast once in 4 months.
4) Laundry the curtains and sofa covers once a year atleast!!!
5) Make him consume ample qty of fresh juice and water, reduce on bottled juices/fizzy drinks are a complete no-no.
6) Avoid frequent consumption on Junk food/chips/fries.
7) encourage out door sports.
8)A prim. school child should sleep atleast 9 and a half hrs.(10 hrs better)
By following this the symptoms and attacks will gradually reduce, and as he advances a few yrs. in age he will be almost free of these issues.

Hi, manjuma .,

it is a very common issue these days in US going around due to lots of new allergies sprung up with school going kids as ur kid just started schooling so he needs some time to get adjusted to the new environment and also get strong in immunity . But one thing is for sure by the time kids get strong mom gets weak in seeing her kid suffering and could'nt do anything . i have 2 kids 9and 5 yr and i faced the same problem with my elder one for sometime (until 2nd gr) now i am facing the same problem with my younger one ..., i am used to it and i am just thinking of the solution not the problem. doc no use ..,

so this is how i worked out just give them turmeric milk and honey for cold and cough , rub vicks on their chest , back and on their feet and cover with socks, this will make them get undisturbed sleep in night.
Rub zindatilismath on their chest, back and throat this also works .

these helped me hope it works for u too. be strong manjuma..,

Have you done an allergy test. If the doctor can tell you what he is allergic to then you can eliminate that particular food from his diet. In the mean time make sure his pillow is new and wash his sheets very often.

 

sorry to hear that your son is struggling so much, I know how hard it is take when our children are suffering. As libra said please check if he has any allergies (air borne spring allergeis or food allergies), also as others said changing the bedsheets, pillow covers often and using less detergents and if possible chemical free solutions for cleaning the house, add vitamin C supplement(in the form of gummy bears) to increase the immunity and try to feed more water in a day.

Sujatha.

 

Hi Manjuma
I can understand your agony as a mother. Your son is in right hands, so just keep doing your best and as others have stated in here once he attains natural immunity by coping up with the new surrounding his health status will progress. Involve him in outdoor sports and keep him happy, being holed up in the flat/villa all the time is very depressive for a young boy.

I agree with Jaya, the above stuff is effective, I do it with my kids as well. Also, an occasional teaspoon of Honey and cinnamon powder is good, unless he is allergic to any of these.
Don't worry, he will come around!
