With a running nose a child can stay in a very irritated and cranky mood. Help your child by these simple home remedies.
- Firstly encourage him to eliminate mucus, as suppressing it will cause blockage of mucus in the lungs and make the matter worst.
- Boil water. Add some vaporizer or carom seeds in it. Carefully make him breathe over a container of boiling water to clear his nasal passage and separate the mucus. Take care to keep safe distance and protect his hands and legs form getting burnt.
- Limit the consumption of dairy products as they are more mucus forming. But don’t completely eliminate it form the diet. Consumption of fluids should be increased in the form of boiled water, vegetable soups, or broths.
- Passive smoke inhalation will worsen the infection, so avoid smoking around him as far as possible.
- Avoid spicy, oily or fried, cold beverages, carbonated beverages and sodas as far as possible.
