Infant Cold Best Natural Remedy

Infant Cold Best Natural Remedy 

Children often catch colds during their infancy. The infection not only results in clogging their noses, but also affects their sleep patterns, making them irritable. This in turn affects the parents who are unable to get any rest.


Although at first sight the symptoms exhibited by the infant may be those of a common cold, it is always advisable to get your doctor's opinion before you begin any treatments at home.

The first thing to do is to keep the child warm always. Keep the ears and head covered when you take the child outside.


  Avoid giving the baby any cold drinks. Give the baby warm milk instead of normal water. You can also warm a spoonful of mustard oil and use this to rub the baby's back and chest. You can also peel and grate a small piece of ginger. Wrap this ginger in a clean cloth and squeeze. Mix a table spoon of honey in the extracted juice. You can give your child this once a day.  Turmeric is a well-know cure for colds. You can mix a pinch of turmeric in a spoonful of warm water and give this to the child. You can also mix turmeric in a small amount of warm milk and give this to the child at bedtime.
