Cold and Cough Home Remedies For Your Child
November 6, 2008
When it’s about our children’s health and well being, we never want to take risk. More over, we become over cautious. And in a season like this- the fall of winter, parents have to take extra care of their children. As, the winter brings cold, flue and other illness with it at the beginning, it would be better if parents keep some home remedies on their finger tips. You just can’t rule out this possibility, as you can’t restrict your child at home only. In such a situation, if you know some home remedy, you can handle the situation without worrying for any kind of side effects.
When you are going for home remedies or any other medicine, always remember that cold and cough takes time to be healed. In case of cold to your child, make sure that he/she should stay hydrated. It’s not necessary that they should drink only water; rather you can give any kind of health drink including fruit juice to them. However, for babies (younger than six months), it’s always recommended to stick to breast milk only.
Now, you must be thinking, does health drinks include milk. Mot of the times, we come across the sayings that milk forms mucus. So it should be avoided while having cold. However, it’s just a saying. There is no scientific proof to back the argument.
When you have children, always keep honey at home. If your kid is between 2 to 5 years old then give him half-teaspoon of honey. For the age group of 2 to 5 years, 1 teaspoon is advisable and 2 tsp for children, who are older than 6 years.
When your child’s nose is blocked, you can place salt water drops in each of his/her nostrils for 30-60 minutes. With this remedy, the mucus will become thin and it will come out easily, which will give comfort to your kid.
Make it a point, when your baby is sleeping while having a cold, try to rest his head at a slightly elevated level. This will make drainage easier, while giving your child a peaceful sleep.
You know some home remedies that does mean you will not consult with a doctor. If your child looks dehydrated or having fever for more than 3 days, or the child is only few months old, then always consult with doctor.
