Frequent Cough and Cold

2018-02-24 08:31:59
My son is 2.7 years and frequently catches cold followed with cough.The frequency of it is every 15 days and it remains for 10 or sometimes more days. Im really worried as he is then exposed to all this medication all throught the month which I understand can be damaging to him Im thinking of some home remedy to be replaced with the over the counter medicine. Also,could frequently giving him fruit juice made in hotels or inhaling body lotion while playing be the cause of frequent cold?

Till the age of 8 years,children WILL fall sick 6-7 times a year due to lesser immunity. Your problem seems more allergy rather than infections. If mild,just give steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down. Also,allergy is usually due to inhaled substances,so it's imperative that you ensure your house is dust,smoke and fume free.
