1. Strengthen Immunity Give a nutritious diet: Include fruits (oranges, papaya, apple), vegetables (carrots, spinach), nuts, and dry fruits. Honey with warm water (for kids above 1 year) helps soothe the throat. Encourage frequent handwashing to reduce infections. 2. Home Remedies for Cold & Cough Warm Turmeric Milk: Add a pinch of turmeric to warm milk before bedtime. Tulsi & Ginger Tea: Boil tulsi leaves and a little ginger in water, let it cool, and give a few teaspoons. Steam Inhalation: Helps in clearing nasal congestion. Do it carefully. Saline Nasal Drops: Helps relieve a blocked nose (consult your doctor). 3. Avoid Triggers Keep your child away from cold drinks, ice creams, and very cold environments. Avoid dust, smoke, and strong perfumes if the child is allergic. 4. Ensure Hydration Give warm soups, water, coconut water, and fresh juices to keep your child hydrated. 5. When to See a Doctor? If cough lasts more than 10 days If fever is high or persistent If breathing difficulty or wheezing is present
If colds are too frequent, you may discuss immunity-boosting supplements (like Vitamin C, zinc) with your pediatrician. Let me know if you need more help!
