What is a good cold remedy for little kids?


I have 2 kids ages 4 and 3. They both have bad colds and i was wondering what would be good to give them.

Answers:
No medicines. Give them fluids, fruit juices are very good.
Normally they eat a bit less, which is good. Normally they are a bit less active, which is good. Time is the best remedy for a cold.
If they don't eat normally, which they often do in spite of the cold, homemade chicken soup is an excellent way to replace the fluids, minerals and vitamins they may lose. Make it with fresh carrots, which may just be the secret to chicken soups success against colds.
Keep them happy.

Other Answers:
Depends on what the symptoms are. I always stuck to Robitussin personally. And Motrin for kids for fevers. Make sure they get plenty of orange juice, too.

Nothing really. Keep them well hydrated with juice and water. Make them home made chicken soup and let them sip the juice. Lots of rest. PLENTY OF FLUIDS children's Tylenol rest cant remember what the cough syrup I use to take when i was a kid sorry..... I hope they feel better!!


Beleive it or not, Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of their feet and under their arms. Make sure they have socks and pjs on after rubbibg them.

My kids had a bad cold last month.

Dear, give them more water to drink all the time, this would wash the various away in no time.
Also let them have enough sleep which would let the immune system work very fast I mean it would boost system up.


Warm milk and honey, that has always helped me and my kids. Use a chest rub and always drink alot of fluids. Another good idea is to place some of the chest rub in a bowl of hot water in their room.
