What to do if your Infant has runny nose and cold?
Remedy 1
Heat about 1 cup good quality mustard oil in a pan. When hot add 1 tea spoon Hing, 2 tea spoon each of ajwain and methi dana and 8-10 cloves of garlic. Let the spices burn on simmer. Seive the mix when little cool. You can store this oil in a bottle for even a month. When needed apply this oil after warming it on babies chest, ribs, back and feet and ensure baby is warm after that for at least half an hour. Specially useful in Winters.
Remedy 2
Heat about 3-4 tea spoon of ajwain and 6-7 lavang on a griddle (tawa) while stirring it so that it doesn't burn. When little cool put it in a hankerchief and make a potli out of it. When it is bearably hot press it on babies chest like doing sikai. This gives relief in congestion.
Remedy 3
When baby is suffering with severe cold symptoms and is unable to breathe and sleep, apply Vicks on a hankerchief or even eucalyptus oil. Try and make baby sleep such that the head is little elevated (using double pillow or towel) and keep this hankerchief near the baby. The fumes will ease breathing. If baby is older like more than 6 months you can apply Vicks or oil on upper clothes of the baby so that baby can breathe. Also one trick is to apply Vicks under babies feet and make then wear socks. This takes away cold.
Also for older kids things like giving steam, giving warm haldi and salt water , kaadha and proper sneezing helps. Using humidifier in room also gives relief.
Hope these tricks help mothers in need.
