need SCD legal cough/runny nose symptom relief Pls!

[Guest guest]

Please, anyone with suggestions on what I could give , 3yo,

32 lbs, for a bad cough that is keeping him awake and a runny nose.

I think he is also having a lot of postnasal drip, probably part of

the reason for the cough.

I appreciate your help!

If your child can tolerate honey.....

Honey and ginger make a great cough remedy that's legal. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of

powdered ginger (the kind you'd use for baking) with 2 Tablespoons of honey.

Stir well....... then give one teaspoon (perhaps less for a younger

child)..... let him just lick it off the spoon...... every couple of hours.

Squeeze a lemon wedge into hot water and mix in some honey for a " tea " that's

really soothing to a raw throat with a cold. If the weather's hot, you might

want to ice this...... and have him sip it.

I've used plain saline for stuffy nose..... and good old Vick's Vap-O-Rub,

either rubbed on the chest or a teensy bit just inside the nostril with a Q-tip.

good luck.....

Thanks for the advice Patti. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, does

the powdered ginger come like other spices in a jar or can and can

it be purchased at the grocery store? He is so sensitive to all

tastes and smells, I'm not sure if he can tolerate Vicks but will

give it a try.

Thanks so much. Bedtime draws near.

Yes, the ginger is found in the regular grocery store, right alongside all the

other common spices.... just like cinnamon, cloves, that sort of thing.
