Cough Remedies

If your baby has a cough and it is keeping you both from sleep

, you will want to do what you can to treat it so you can both get back to bed. Over-the-counter cough remedies and home treatment are safe and effective for minor coughs of short duration such as those associated with simple respiratory infections. However, if your cough persists seek advice from a skilled professional. Be prepared with answers to the following questions as these will help your doctor correctly diagnose your cough and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Place a few drops of eucalyptus oil on the back of your (or your child's) hand and have them inhale the scent.Eucalyptus is known to help coughs and is contained in many over-the-counter cough remedies. It contains eucalyptol which fights bacteria and loosens phlegm.Coughing can also be caused when we eat. The food goes down the wrong pipe and the epiglottis does it's job by keeping the food out of the trachea. The best treatment for this particular cough depends on what's causing it. Once the underlying condition is treated, the cough will disappear. However, it may be appropriate to take cough medicine at this time since a dry cough can be irritating and harmful in the long run.

The violence of this cough resembles whooping cough, Homeopaths don't use disease labels. Instead we use your unique symptoms. So whether or not you have been diagnosed with whooping cough, if your symptoms look like those of Drosera, then this will be an excellent cough remedy for you. A mixture of ginger, honey and lemon as a hot mixture may be just as beneficial in place of cough syrup. Make it up as a tea by first boiling some water and pouring it into a small thermos (about a litre or a quart). To this add some grated ginger and then four tablespoons each of lemon and honey.

Colds would not be so prevalent if the body were not filled with mucus and waste products, so one should immediately rid the body of these poisons. There is no better way to do this than to cleanse the entire colon by herbal laxatives. Mix the olive oil and essential oils well, then apply the mixture to your baby's chest and back. If the baby is small, swaddle her in a soft blanket, otherwise keep her back and chest as covered as possible with a thicker, tight fitting shirt to build up body heat which will allow the essential oils to vaporize.
