My baby is 4 months old and has been having constant cold since last 1 month.when i asked my doctor he asked me to put Nasal drops and asked to use the bulb syringe.I am doing it regularly but no use.I live in US.Can anyone suggest what i can do to get rid of the cold.Can i do something at home?Kindly suggest.He is suffering a lot. Priya Satish replied. If he has chest cingestion, I can suggest a home remedy. Normally it is done by warming beetel leaves and keeping them on baby's chest. But in US you may not get the same. So ( I am in Dubai) what I was told to do was to roll cotton cloth (duppatta, shawl) into a ball and warm the same on your tawa, check the heat by keeping the same on your face or hand, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT TOO HOT, it should be warm and place on baby's chest and back. do this three times a day, for 2-3 minutes. Continue the medicines given by doctor. This home remedy had a magical effect on my son. The cold disappeared in 2 days time.
Best of Luck.
