Hetal replied. i understand that eucalyptus oil clears cold, but you have to consider the age of your baby. everything sonia has suggested is excellent,,,i would be cautious in using this oil because of the strength it holds !
actual remedial qualities of this oil is to relieve stress/pain and a anesthetic effect, and often chest rubs like baby rub and such other congestion reliever contain a very few percentile of oil present in them.thats how often some people feel relaxed after its application ! and not only because of its warming effect.

however, you will find this oil in any natural oil market or where you have all those essences and international pure scents..mostly its also available in speciality or what you call is green markets/malls(everything is organic and pure there)..

make sure, after one application his skin doesnt get ne rashes or prickly heat. there are many reasons of cough n cold,,so please be careful.
check my post about banana and yogurt to taruna,,it will clear your doubts. even drs dont recommend to stop total milk products. and since your baby is suffering from 15 days,,if i were you, i will take her to dr. now that your baby got the cold too,,make sure you keep him warm enough with his head,feet/hands, and chest covered..check my post to anu for good care in fever,cold.
also, the last thing i will tell you, is since your baby got the cough and then cold,,,make sure to see your dr again just to be sure that your baby is not having ne viral infections/seasonal colds.if so, its better to get the medications from dr at earliest.
cold and cough can be a sign of teething too !! so check with your dr and let your dr decide about it. 15 days is a long time to wait,,and dont let your baby suffer more..
take care,

sonia replied. hi !u could mix some eculaptis oil in the water that is used for steam and mix it with 4-5 drops of any oil or ghee and warm it and rub it on the chest, forehead and back for some releif ! give tons of water as it dilutes the mucus collected due to the cold. give citrus juices especially during this time. not cold - out of the fridge juices. then u could try homeopathy for such a young baby. it's available everywhere in india and out. decongestants r over-rated according to me and also effect the mind to some extent. and ya ! according to my past experience with my daughter i have seen milk, cheese, yogurt and banana really encourage mucus production so i don't give milk products till the cold-cough scenario ends. and one last thing soups will really help, don't expect the baby to eat well and elevate the head a little while sleeping and expect the cold to turn into cough - it always happens - cold turning into cough. hope this helps ! all the best !
