Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 My poor little 3 year old has an awful cold right now and is congested and up half the night coughing. I've done a chest rub and vaporizer for her, but that doesn't seem to be working. Are there any natural medicines out there that I could try? Are there other remedies that help? We all need some sleep soon. Thanks! Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 To allow for a good night's sleep without coughing.put some mentholated rub on her feet (a dab will do you.I use a nice finger sized " gob " ) and then put socks over them. This is an old remedy and I've used it quite successfully. It should keep coughing at bay for anywhere between 8-12 hours. My kids go to bed around 7:30pm or so and I heard my oldest start coughing again around 5:30am or so.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Avoid milk for a little while as it tends to worsen congestion. Vitamin C is great for boosting immunity. Try to give her some fresh orange juice (which my daughter loves to help try to squeeze) as it has the vitamin c and absorps easily along with so much other good stuff. If you have peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils you could diffuse those for her to ease her breathing. It always helps my family!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Try cammomile tea with honey-cold or warm- which ever she prefers----- this will help to relax her esp at bed time----if she is having trouble coughing up the phlem then try a little fenugreek-------it may be something you have to mash up with something she likes as it tastes like curry-but it will help to separate the phlem -making it easier to cough up------- --- On Thu, 19/11/09, scarletpaolicchi <scarletsinger wrote: scarletpaolicchi <scarletsinger Re: Cold/Cough remedies for a 3 year old Received: Thursday, 19 November, 2009, 1:33 AM  Avoid milk for a little while as it tends to worsen congestion.
