Recently Amar has been suffering with cough and cold of and on for couple of months. In the beginning I used all the home remedies and it went but again reverted back. As of now he is on Antibiotics, which I normally do not prefer.
Before this yes he has been getting cold but it never went on for such a long time. One more thing I would like to add is that he has started going to playschool 3 months back. Could this have anything to do with that.
At the start of play school kids do get this problem as infections do pass between kids easily. Try giving ginger juice with honey. I give this to my son twice daily if he has severe cough and it is of immediate help.
I have been using Homeopathic medicine for my kids and it has done the job. try the same. Do consult a homeopathic doctor and one more thing they have a medicine to prevent cough so you can give it to your child throughout winter. That is what I do.
If are giving Antibiotic as of now its fine but next time onward try to avoid these medicines. As these are short time cures. If you want make your child immune better opt for Ayurvedic Homeopathic medicine.
Give Tulsi leaves juice with honey through winter. It is really helpful.
Chaywanprash is a good option during winter. Give it with milk everyday it improves the immunity.
Chaywanprash is really good for both kids and adults. Whole of our family have it with milk every morning. Same holds for my son as well. And I have seen that he is less prone to catching cold very often.
Give a pinch of powdered pepper with honey. It is a very good home medicine for cough and cold.
