Holistic Ways to Get Rid of Toddler Cough

Holistic medicine focuses on the whole child and her environment rather than on a specific illness or condition. ホリスティックな実践者は、子供の精神的、精神的、感情的な幸福は、彼女の体調と同じくらい全体的な健康にとって重要なままであると感じています。 American Holistic Health Association（AHHA）によると、ホリスティックアプローチは、幼児の食事と毒素への暴露と毎日の習慣を調べて、咳を癒し、全体的な健康を改善するのに役立ちます。 By focusing on healthy habits and offering some basic comfort measures, you can holistically help your toddler to heal.

1. Focus on Overall Health

   • According to the Mayo Clinic, exposure to smoke can irritate a child's inflamed airways and make his cough significantly worse. Always refrain from smoking in a home with children; this advice extends well beyond holistic cough care. Ensure your toddler gets plenty of rest while he fights his cough so his body can heal itself.

     Since persistent coughing can interfere with sleep, try running a humidifier in his room to moisten the air and loosen congestion. Offer your toddler liquids throughout his bout with illness; chicken soup can thin nasal secretions as well as relieve the congestion that often contributes to a nagging cough. Drinking plenty of fluids helps fight dehydration, a condition that might seriously complicate your toddler's recovery.

     You can also offer favorite soft foods such as puddings, jello or scrambled eggs. These foods can soothe your toddler's scratchy throat and give him the strength to fight his cough.

   快適測定

   • ホリスティック医学のフォロワーは、子供の全体的な環境が可能な限り健康である場合、時間は病気を癒すと信じていますが、咳が消えるのを待っている間、子供に快適さを提供するための措置を講じることができます。

     According to the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, honey makes an effective natural cough remedy. Since honey can contain bacteria that potentially causes infant botulism, never give it to children less than 12 months of age. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends offering 1/2 tsp. 2〜5歳の子供に。蜂蜜と温水とレモンを絞って、子供のためにビタミンCに豊富な飲み物を作ることもできます。

     Offer children over 6 months of age sweetened, weakened chamomile tea with crystallized ginger in it. Ginger helps clear nasal passages and chamomile helps soothe sore, scratchy throats. Both of these conditions can contribute to the dry cough that can seem to linger excessively in toddlers.
