Whenever my kids get sick, I have this handy in my medicine cabinet. Instead of the regular Vicks vaporub, I use vapor balm. This is not only for babies but also for toddlers. It's free of petroleum and paraben and contains natural ingredients like lavender aloe and rosemary. It helps them breathe easier and makes them calmer.
For cough, I use Boerick and Taffel brand syrup as it has only less than 1% alcohol unlike any other cough syrup available in the pharmacy or food store. The good thing about this is it contains honey which we all know is a powerful immune system booster. Honey’s antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help improve digestive system and help you stay healthy and fight disease. In a study involving 105 children aged 2-18 years with upper respiratory tract infections of 7 days or less and night-time coughing, a single night-time dose of buckwheat honey was an effective alternative treatment for symptomatic relief of nocturnal cough and sleep difficulty, compared to a single dose of dextromethorphan (DM).
