How to cure a cold in children

In the morning your child went to kindergarten or school, completely healthy and came back out and began to sniff, cough, his red-rimmed eyes, hoarse voice, and in general looks like it's not very good.
"Sick!" - And you open the medicine chest, thinking what would be a pill to give his daze. Or going to a drugstore to buy a pack or two of miracle pills. Stop! Do not rush to apply to pharmaceuticals, we propose to start with home treatments for common cold, which quickly and, more importantly, without harm to the young body, will result in the order of your son or daughter. 
Described treatment has been tested many times in practice, which shows that the time started performing procedures will not allow to develop a cold into something more serious. In addition, in the treatment of colds you use food and other things we have in any home. 
So, you will need: 
patience; 
2-3 days, when it is desirable to cancel visits to schools; 
dry mustard, vodka, honey (preferably liquid), sunflower oil, flour, terry towel, woolen socks (preferably "samovyazki"); 
buy in the drugstore: paper wraps, a wide bandage, gauze, nasal drops of vegetable origin "Pinosol" balm for massage "Barsuchok", "Thoracic collection" (the best number 2), sage, liquid "Rotokan" (a mixture of liquid extracts of chamomile , calendula and yarrow), fir oil, an inhaler (you can replace the pan with a diameter 15-18 cm). 
Struggling with a cold 
We start with a nasal lavage. Take a glass of the following mixture: ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp Dissolve baking soda in a glass of warm boiled water. This solution was washed his nose. How to do it? Pour the solution into the saucer and ask your child to draw spout this vodichku, detaining her in the nose, and then firing back. After each retraction must be easily vysmarkivatsya. 
Irrigation is desirable to do 5-6 times a day depending on the degree of nasal congestion and the number of selections. After each washing bury the kid in nose drops, preferably of vegetable origin (eg, "Pinosol). 
If the child is sufficiently diligent, you can do warm, that is to act dry heat on the maxillary sinus. This will contribute to better discharge of secretions and hinder the development of inflammation. 
Attention! Do not force your child to blow his nose long and loud. 
Fir oil and sage 
A wonderful way to help the body cope with a cold - inhalation. They are, firstly, have anti-inflammatory effect, and secondly, the ability of the mucous membrane of respiratory tract. 
In inhalation good to combine two drugs. This may be the infusion of sage and fir oil. Sage is an excellent antiseptic, helps to disinfect the mucous and fir oil promotes expectoration. 
We advise to take inhalations 10 minutes - this is the best time because during this period and the infusion will not have time to cool, and the baby does not get tired to carry out this procedure. And you can try to make it more fun: put the child hourglass, so he watched the poured grain, get an alarm clock or timer for a certain time - they signal to notify the end of the procedure. 
Inhalation spend from 3 to 6 times a day. 
By the way, fir oil 1-2 in day one can lubricate the tonsils. Doing so is not difficult, important to act quickly so as not to cause the child's vomiting reflex. Wrap a long stick or a finger with a sterile bandage, drip on him 1-2 drops of pine oil, and by asking the child to open her mouth, quickly spend on glands. 
Attention! Inhalation spend 1,5 hours after eating, and after them it is advisable not to eat, drink or talk for 30-60 minutes. 
What are we going to rinse the throat? 
In the intervals between inhalations (3-5 times a day) will be very effective gargle. Here, you can opt out of our familiar from childhood my grandmother's recipe - rinse soda solution. Not everyone will like its taste! Experiment: ask the kid concoctions of herbs (sage, chamomile, St. John's wort) or Rotokan "(add 1 teaspoon per glass of warm water). 

Attention! The allegation that the hot water for rinsing is, the better - no more than a myth. The optimum temperature - 37 degrees. 
Who is an ally in the fight with a cough? 
Cough - One of the main dangers of a cold, you run, you risk getting all sorts of complications. Therefore, start the fight as quickly as possible. This will help you all kinds of nursing duties (the brewing method read the label) or plain coltsfoot, which you can prepare yourself at the end of spring. Make potions and let your child drink 20 minutes before meals in the form of heat. 
During the day, the patient should consume more fluids to thin the mucus. Offers only a warm drink every 40-60 minutes. In addition, the liquid will help wash away toxins from the body. 
Well, on the night - a tasty traditional medicine: A very warm milk with honey or raspberry. 

If a strong dry cough may be advised and a drink. In 200 g of boiling milk 1 tablespoon dissolved sage and boil for 3-4 minutes. Then left in the same pot for 30 minutes, then filtered and heated. 
Super-compress 
There are many options for warming packs, but not all are suitable for children. We recommend a compress, which is good because its heat is very soft, it does not irritate the delicate skin of children, and it uses a completely standard products, available in any home. 
So, mix in a glass of small diameter and 1 tablespoon liquid honey, dry mustard, vodka and sunflower oil. Pound until smooth and gradually add the flour into it until it's time, until the mixture becomes like a dough. Stirs the mixture on a water bath. Until it warmed up on the table preparing the foundation for a compress. It's two pieces of paper packs: one on the back, another on his chest. They put the gauze slightly smaller. From the heated compress are forming the basis for three cakes: two on the back, one on his chest. Put them in cheesecloth, cover the same piece of gauze and apply to the body of a baby. Compress paper should be on top. Then wrap the baby with a towel and pribintovyvayut wide bandage. Your task - to achieve maximum density fit a compress to the body, but do not squeeze the body of a child. Desirable to compress at night because in the dream the patient will have less to move, and hence no bandage will slip. 
Attention! Compress (not paper, and cakes) should not close the area of ​​the spine and heart. 
Soar legs properly 
The procedure, called by the people "hover legs, has a medical name - the hot foot bath. We draw your attention that the benefits of these bathrooms will be if done within 8-10 minutes, gradually raising the temperature (from 37 to 40-45 degrees), and then put on the legs of woolen socks to pour into them dry mustard. By the way, the water can be added to 6.4 drops pine oil, which is not only a scented room, and dissolved in large quantities of water, inhalation will disinfect the cavity of the nasopharynx. 
After a foot bath or even instead of it you can rub your feet a little sick balm "Barsuchok, which will prolong the effects of heat. The same can be balm to rub baby's back and chest at night, after which the patient is necessary to wrap up. 
Attention! Hot baths can be done for the hands. The effect will be less. 
At last 
Give your child the installation of a cure. More stroke, pat, hug a little patient. When he falls asleep or is asleep, sit down next to him, pat on the head and firmly and confidently say a few words about what your son or daughter must get better. For example, "You're a very strong", "Your nose is breathing freely," "Tomorrow you wake up, and the throat is not sore." Such programming on health, unless it sure can work wonders! 
Health to you and your children!
