Easy Home Remedies for Flu in Children.
- When your little ones are under the weather with the flu, here are some simple, effective home remedies to help them feel better:
- 1. Cool-Mist Humidifier: Place it near your child’s bed to ease a sore throat.
- 2. Honey for Nighttime Cough (Over 1 Year Old): Give a teaspoon of honey at bedtime (after brushing teeth) to soothe coughs. Mix with warm water if needed.
- 3. Bulb Suction for Babies: Use this to gently clear mucus if your child is too young to blow their nose.
- 4. Steam Inhalation: Let your child breathe in steam from a warm bath or shower for 10-15 minutes. Or, have them lean over a pot of hot water with a towel over their head to help loosen mucus and relax before sleep.
- 5. Avoid Cough and Cold Medications: These are not recommended for young kids due to potential side effects like nausea or increased heart rate. It's best to stick to natural methods.
- 6. Warm Fluids for Kids Over 6 Months: Offer caffeine-free tea, broth, or hot water with lemon to help break up mucus and soothe sore throats.
