Try the following simple home remedies for your child’s cold - - Make natural syrup by mixing 2 tbsp lemon juice with 1 tbsp honey in a glass of warm water. Give him this water several times a day.
- Mix ginger powder in honey to make a paste. Make him lick this paste 3- 4 times in a day. You can even add fresh holy basil juice for more effectiveness.
- To avoid dehydration increase the fluid consumption in the form of boiled clean water. Maintain appropriate hygiene to boost his immune system.
- coconut water, and carrot juice to change his taste. But avoid trying everything together, as the child might get confused and would avoid eating everything.
- Avoid cold foods, cold water, fried foods, chocolates and candies completely as this would worsen the cough.
- To help reduce the cold put on the humidifier at night in his room before going to bed.
- Warm compresses can also be applied on the chest of your baby to ease cold and congestion.
