Home Remedies for cough & cold in children
#1. Use Vaporub
Rub Vicks Vaporub to bottom of your baby’s feet and chest at night, cover her feet with cotton socks. Your baby will get instant relief from cough. Vaporubs actually don’t remove congestion, it makes baby feel better with its cooling action.
#2. Garlic Ajwain Potli
Dry roast 2–3 garlic cloves & one tablespoon of ajwain on dry tawa or pan. Once its roasted, switch off the flame. Make a potli out of it. You can place potli around baby’s bedding or in his cradle during sleep time. The garlicky ajwain smoke helps to get relief from blocked nose & chest congestion.
#3. Ginger & Honey
Squeeze few drops of ginger juice and add into one spoon of honey. Give it directly or dissolve in warm water. Some kids don’t like honey, so it’s better if you start offering honey to your child at early age. He will develop the taste of honey.
#4. Light Steam
Inhaling steam is a natural way to provide relief for blocked nose, chest congestion & cold.
I will not recommend proper steam for infants using steamer. Rather keep your room little steaming by placing a steamer or boiling water near your bed.
You can also make your bathroom steamy by running hot water tap for some time. Sit in bathroom for 10–15 minutes by taking your infant in your lap.
#5. Homemade cough syrup
If no remedy works for your child, then make cough syrup at home. Boil saunf, mulethi and badi elaichi for 10-15 minutes. Let the syrup cool down. Add a spoon of honey while the syrup is still warm. Offer to your child 3-4 times a day. It will definitely help fighting with cold and cough.
