A. try to prevent temperature variations around child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot environment. keep the child well covered. if the palms and soles of the child are cold to touch then the child is feeling cold and you have to take preventive measures to make the child warm. you can go for home remedies like tulsi ginger honey (add honey if child is more thean 1 year of age) combination which can be diluted with water and given frequently to the child. also u can give turmeric with warm milk one or two times everyday. give dwarm water to drink as well as nasal saline drops frequently.

A. hi mom. getting cold often is indication that the child is trying to develop the immunity so do not worry regarding that but definitely naturally you can enhance the immunity by giving some kind of home remedies you can give onion juice to the child every 3 to 4 days once cold and cough can be reduced with simple home remedies, few among them are below , try only one at a time. Ginger juice and betel leaf juice and honey which is best for the cold. another one is take a cup of water along with betel leaves, indian borage leaves, and tulsi leaves , all washed nicely before use.add little peppercorns, boil it nicely until the water is reduced to half. filter it and feed the child when it is warm. give steam to the baby two times a day and also use nasal saline drops, and if there is nasal block use the Babyhug nasal aspirator.
