RE: Lingering cough in five year old - any natural suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Tamara,

 

Sound like a sinus infection. Try stopping all dairy and have her do steams

w/ Eucalyptus Oil. My daughter had very similar symptoms when she was two

and the doctors were trying to convince me she had asthma and should be on

steroids! This started my path into alternative medicine. She is now a

very healthy 12 year old.

 

Good luck,

Hello,

My five-year-old daughter caught a cold in late November and has had a

lingering cough ever since. I've taken her to the dr. 2X to listen to

vaporizer with drops of peppermint and eucalyptus oils in it- however then you

can't use the homeopathics because they won't work- the only drawback to the

vaporizer is that becasue I shut the door we get a bit of mold growth on the

crack where the ceiling meets the wall so I had to wash it off with tea tree oil

and I decided to wash the walls too- next time I'll leave the door open. Coughs

can be allergic coughs too and they can be from the irritating post nasal drip-

will she let you do a sinus rinse? or even a saltwater baking soda nasal spray?
