\"Dr.
Dr. Victor Emanuel MD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The truth is that I\u2019m not really big on home remedies. I was trained to prescribe drugs, in whatever form. But you know what? I\u2019m open minded. So my philosophy is, hey whatever works for you, go with it.<\/p>\n

At this time, we\u2019re in the flu season. And even if we weren\u2019t, you know that once your child is in day care, pre-school, primary school or high school, the cold or the flu is always a possibility.<\/p>\n

DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, as you know, you can\u2019t cure your child\u2019s cold or flu because we\u2019re dealing with viruses \u2013 we can\u2019t cure those. But you can treat symptoms. The get-well basics include plenty of rest and lots of fluids, as I always tell you even for adults. Give your child lots of water, milk, or formula to keep him\/her hydrated. You may also give frozen fruit bars, ice pops, and flavored gelatin (Jell-O). And don\u2019t forget about good old chicken soup. Some of you whom I\u2019ve seen recently who\u2019re reading this will remember that I mentioned this.<\/p>\n

GET BED REST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rest helps you heal and decreases the intensity and duration of your child\u2019s symptoms. So it might be a good idea to keep your child out of school and other events, especially if there\u2019s a fever. Staying home also prevents the spread of germs. To entertain your child, provide magazines, books, play a favorite movie, or allow video games. He can return to school and usual activities once the fever passes and he feels like returning to a usual routine.<\/p>\n

SOOTHE A SORE THROAT<\/strong><\/p>\n

To soothe scratchy throats, think hot and cold. Milkshakes, cold drinks, and ice chips will numb his throat, while sipping warm broth or hot apple cider soothes it. If your child is 8 or older, he may feel better after gargling with warm salt water twice a day. Paracetamol, Tylenol or Ibuprofen can also ease a sore throat. Medicated sprays and lozenges usually don\u2019t help much.<\/p>\n

STUFFY NOSES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baby snuffed up? Get rid of the mucus with a rubber suction bulb. Or put your mouth to his nose and suck it out. Yeah, my mom did that. Put three drops of warm water or saline in each nostril to soften the mucus, and wait a minute before suctioning it out. Raise the head of your child\u2019s crib or bed 3 to 4 inches to make it easier for him\/her to breathe. A cool-mist humidifier or vaporizer can also help clear up congestion. A red nose from too much blowing can be relieved with a little petroleum jelly on the skin beneath the nose.<\/p>\n

FEVER FIGHTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

A fever, unless it gets really high, won\u2019t hurt your child, but it can make him uncomfortable. For a fever, light clothing in a cool room provides comfort. A cool washcloth on the forehead or neck will help. He may not need medicine to bring his fever down, but a child 6 months or older can take Tylenol (Paracetamol) or Ibuprofen. Check with the doc before giving medicine to a child younger than 2, and always follow instructions carefully.<\/p>\n

CURB THE COUGH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether or not to treat a child\u2019s cough depends on his age and how much it\u2019s bothering him. Some children with a cough may sleep well and be in good spirits.<\/p>\n

A hacking cough that\u2019s uncomfortable and disrupts sleep needs attention. For children between 3 months and 1 year, give warm, clear liquids like apple juice or lemonade. If your child is older than 1, honey can fend off nighttime coughing fits. Children 6 years or older can get cough drops or hard candies to suck on. Having your child breathe in the steam from a warm shower can help, as can putting a humidifier or vaporizer in his room.<\/p>\n

IT IS THE COLD? OR IS IT THE FLU?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Telling the difference between a cold and a flu can be difficult. Generally, your child will feel worse with the flu, and he may go from fine to lousy quickly. He may have chills, muscle aches, a headache, high fever, and be exhausted. Call doc if you think it\u2019s the flu. Doc might want to give your child medicines.<\/p>\n

TUMMY TROUBLES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children with the flu may have upset stomachs, with vomiting and diarrhea. This means losing fluids, so have your child drink small amounts of an electrolyte solution (Pedialyte, Oral Rehydration Salts) or water and suck on ice pops. A child with diarrhea who isn\u2019t dehydrated or vomiting can keep eating. Just give him smaller portions and more liquids. Electrolyte solutions work best. Ginger ale, juices, and sports drinks can make diarrhea worse.<\/p>\n

THINK SOFT FOODS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about feeding a cold and starving a fever. Just make sure your child eats when he\u2019s hungry. Soft foods that are easy to swallow appeal more to a child who isn\u2019t feeling well. Try applesauce, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, yogurt, gelatin (Jell-O).<\/p>\n

CHILDREN AND COLD MEDICINES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Home remedies are useful to treat colds and flu because most cold medicines are inappropriate for children under 4. You shouldn\u2019t use them at all, even if it\u2019s labeled as a children\u2019s medicine. After age 4, you should get doc\u2019s OK and read directions carefully. Never give a child medicine that\u2019s made for adults, aspirin to treat cold symptoms or more than one medicine with the same ingredients.<\/p>\n

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Check doc if you\u2019re worried or if your child\u2019s symptoms are worsening. Watch for chest or stomach pain, shortness of breath, a headache, unusual fatigue, or face or throat pain that gets worse. Call doc if your child has a fever of 103\u00b0 F or higher, or has had a fever of 101\u00b0 F or higher for more than a day. If your child is having trouble swallowing, is coughing up a lot of mucus, or has swollen glands or an earache, get him checked out.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re still in the flu season. Take care of your child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The truth is that I\u2019m not really big on home remedies.
