hi all. plz suggest home remedies for cough and cold in 8 month old babay.

hi Vidya... u could try some of the following home remedies.... always keep a mixture of camphor melted in coconut oil... u can apply dis mix on ur babys back, feet and also make ur baby smell it... apart from keepn your baby warm... keep ur babys head n ears covered... vapour inhalation is another best option.. but since u should not give direct vapour to ur baby.... make some hot steam with haldi, Vicks or zindatilismat and fill the room with the vapor.. automatically ur baby will be inhaling these vapours... smelling pounded garlic also helps... nother option is take some ajwain in ur palms n rub till ur palms have a strong smell of it... let ur baby smell dis ...it will also help....

you can heat garlic and little ajwain in mustard oil and apply the lukewarm mixture on his cheat and back. It will definitely help. But remember these are hot in nature and may cause little prickly on the area applied.

it is very hot here in Vadodara. he is eight month old. can I give him some thing to drink?

yes Vidya ..by nw u can give him water, fruit juices, vegetable puree, barley water, sabja seeds water ( don't give da seeds), sabudana malt.. ragi malt, ...if u suspect he has cold give da juice in warm water
