Home Remedies
1. Steam Inhalation
Sit with your child in a steamy bathroom or use a steam vaporizer to help loosen mucus.
2. Saline Drops
Use saline nasal drops to clear nasal congestion. You can use a nasal aspirator if needed.
3. Honey (if over 1 year old)
Give ½ teaspoon of honey to soothe a sore throat and reduce coughing.
4. Fluids
Keep your child hydrated with warm water, soup, or lukewarm milk.
5. Elevate the Head
Place a pillow under the mattress to elevate your child's head slightly while sleeping to improve breathing.
Diet
Offer easily digestible and warm foods such as dal water, rice porridge, or vegetable soup.
Avoid cold or refrigerated items like juices and curd.
Medical Care
For a fever or severe symptoms, you can give paracetamol (dosage as per your doctor’s advice).
