missyv28`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll Ok need some advice. My 2 year old is sick with typical fever cough etc. His cough is a dry cough and he just goes through these coughing spells because his throat gets so dry and his throat is so irritated from coughing so much. We have a humidifier for him but does anyone know of any natural remedies I can use to sooth his throat since we aren`t supposed to give meds yet. Thx!

I was going to say honey, but I give my kids cough med. if they are really bad. Most are 2 tsp for 6 and older so I give them 1 tsp. the only reason the dr. stopped give meds for 6 and younger is b/c mothers were over medication and giving way to much and the kids were over dosing and dying. Its a shame that others ruined it for the rest of us.

you can give cough syrup. I have a 6 month old and last month she had a terrible cold and a nasty cough. we tried the typical, vaporisor, lifting the head of the crib, ext to help, our doc said we can give 1/4 teaspoon of cough syrup up to every 4 hours a day. It is the regular adult one as they don`t make it for specially for children/babies. it works wonders on mine.

Try giving him warm water and a spoon of honey mixed in. Honey is safe for kids 1 and up.
