No parent can stand and watch their kids suffer during a cold and flu. Though we try hard to avoid falling ill, colds ultimately catch up at least one or twice during the year.
There are several ways to ease the symptoms and lessen the duration of your child's cold.
Steam
Breathing moist air, helps the mucus get loose in the nasal passages. A warm bath can also be an added benefit which will help your child relax.
Fluids
Help you child drink plenty of fluids as this will keep them well hydrated. This helps thin the body’s secretions, making it easier to cough and blow the nose.
Honey
Honey is better than cough medicine for relieving coughs and helping a sick child sleep better. Honey is safe for children age 1 and older, and kids are happy to take it because it tastes good.
Warm Chicken Soup
This is an age old folk remedy. Research shows that chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties.
Getting enough rest
Make sure your child gets enough rest. Rest helps the body focus its energy on getting well, so keep kids home from school to keep them warm, and well-rested.
Elevating the head
Keeping the child’s head slightly elevated will help them breathe better and comfortably.
Gargling with salt water
