What are the safe alternatives?

Against coughing

For a baby under 3 months old, it is important to see a doctor, especially if the cough is accompanied by fever, difficulty breathing or eating. For older children, with the same symptoms, go through the doctor's box if the cough continues for more than 3 days.

After 12 months, you can use this remedy which calms the cough. To do this, mix organic honey in organic natural yogurt.

Also remember to elevate the head of the bed to prevent nasal secretions from flowing into the throat. Remember to ventilate the house every day, avoid exposing your children to cigarette smoke and limit the temperature of the house to 19 ° C.

Against colds

For a baby under 6 months, it is imperative to consult a pediatrician in case of a cold as soon as possible. For older children, the visit is also necessary after 5 days if their general condition deteriorates.

The best way to cure a cold in babies and children is to use sterile salt water to clean a stuffy nose. For this, use physiological saline in a pod.

Consider watching a video to learn how to use it to bring out the liquid through the other nostril and prevent the child from swallowing the liquid that is too salty.

You can also use products to clean the nose like the Prorhinel baby nose cleaner. Be aware that it is not easy to use when the child is moving a lot. Be careful not to damage the walls of the nose.

Against fever

Except in the first 3 months or so if the child suddenly changes his behavior or if purplish spots appear on the skin, the fever is not necessarily to fight because it is just the sign that the body is defending itself against a infection.

In all cases, if the fever persists beyond 48 to 72 hours, it is essential to consult a doctor. If the doctor prescribes paracetamol, prefer syrups to suppositories, because you have much better control over the dose of paracetamol actually absorbed.

Against reflux

If the regurgitation does not affect the growth of the child and the physical examination is normal, there is no need to take medication.

Hygienic-dietetic measures such as thickening of the food bolus or splitting of meals in heavy eaters are sufficient. On the other hand, know that raising the head of the bed or imposing restrictive diets on the child or the nursing mother is useless.

Typically, reflux goes away on its own when children start walking, that is, around 12 to 18 months old.

Against diarrhea

Children under 3 years of age experience between 0.5 and 2 episodes of diarrhea per year, which are usually mild. In the smallest, however, diarrhea should be well monitored because they run a risk of dehydration.

The main signs of dehydration are restlessness or unusual lethargic state, increased thirst, dark circles in the eyes, dry mucous membranes, or decreased tears or urine.

To treat acute diarrhea, oral rehydration solutions such as Adiaril, Viatol, Fanotyle and Novalac hydranova should be used. Consider having some at home so that you can act quickly.

If you don't have one, rice porridge can also do the trick before you buy it. On the other hand, do not give Coke to your children because this drink is not suitable for children.

In the case of persistent vomiting, high fever, diarrhea for more than a week, blood in the stool, a stay in a tropical country or a weight loss of more than 5%, it is It is essential to consult a doctor promptly.
