The baby's illness is a concern for any mother. But when an infant begins to hurt, the question arises of how to treat it, because most medicines have age restrictions. Most often, drugs are contraindicated in children under two years of age. Then grandmother's advice or folk remedies come to the rescue.
Instructions
Step 1
Cough. It can be dry or wet, and therefore it needs to be treated in different ways. What drugs are suitable for your baby, the doctor will determine during the examination. But you can resort to traditional medicine. As an expectorant, a decoction of herbs such as coltsfoot, elecampane, plantain and wild rosemary, as well as from the fruits of anise, juice from black radish and honey, and thyme extract are suitable. But you need to be careful! Drinking these decoctions is necessary in small doses, because it is difficult for infants to cope with a large amount of sputum.
Step 2
Bronchitis, tonsillitis. Among the drugs, drugs based on ivy, marshmallow and licorice are harmless. Inhalations based on herbs are also useful for infants. Also, massage will help. It is effective, can be used from the first days of birth and helps out when other drugs are contraindicated.
Step 3
Runny nose. It is quite difficult for a child to live without a clean nose, because while he sucks at the breast, he breathes through his nose. And if his nose is clogged with mucus, he cannot fully breathe, and therefore is nervous and capricious. An attentive mother knows that you can treat a runny nose with breast milk, instilling one drop in each nostril. It is also helpful to bury beetroot or carrot juice in the spout.
In addition, herbal baths have a healing effect. For example, with sage, calendula, yarrow or birch leaf. You can let the baby breathe with a pair of garlic. To do this, hang 1-2 cloves above his bed. The bow will give the same effect.
Step 4
Stomatitis. The simplest way to treat diseases of the oral cavity is a regular water-soda solution. You need to wrap a piece of bandage or gauze on your finger and rinse the child's mouth. Chamomile decoction relieves inflammation and pain relief. A decoction of calendula also helps.
Also, the mucous membrane of the mouth can be wiped with sea buckthorn, rosehip and peach oil. They are flaxseed oil or help fast healing. You can rinse your mouth with carrot juice half diluted with water.
Using traditional medicine recipes, you can be sure that it is definitely not intended to harm your child.
