What are the folk remedies for treating runny nose when babies catch cold?

Babies are young and have limited body resistance, especially when some parents neglect to take care of their children. It is easy for them to catch a cold. Once they catch a cold and have symptoms of runny nose, parents will be very worried and want to take folk remedies to treat them. So, what are the folk remedies for treating babies with runny noses caused by colds? Let’s take a closer look at the folk remedies for treating babies with runny noses caused by colds.

1. Boil half a spoon of brown sugar + 1 slice of ginger in water and drink

2. Just drop sesame oil (the one we use for cooking, not salad oil) into the baby's nose, just one drop on each side to treat the baby's allergic rhinitis.

3. Soak the mugwort leaves in hot water before going to bed, and let your child soak his feet when it is lukewarm. And make sure he wears enough clothes, soaks for a while and then adds hotter water, then give him a cup of hot brown sugar water (the child had a fever so I didn't dare add ginger), then the child starts to sweat, wipe off the sweat in time. Next, I let the child lie on his stomach on the bed, and I warmed my hands a little and added a drop of olive oil, and rubbed the child's shoulders and back (the lung point position).

4. Touch the child’s back in the middle of the night and it may feel a little cold, so rub your hands to warm the child, and cover the child again in the morning. When I get home from get off work in the evening, I no longer hear my children coughing or having a runny nose. Once again, it worked!

5. A doctor grandmother told me a folk remedy to treat clear nasal discharge, which is to soak your feet in hot water. To be precise, it should be soaking the legs, which means you must soak above the knees for 20 minutes. During this process, you need to constantly add and change hot water to maintain the water temperature, and you also need to keep giving the baby water to drink.

6. Chop the ginger into small pieces and dry it in the oven (I use the microwave), it must be dry, then stick it on the junction of the baby's forefoot and sole - the Yongquan acupoint (I use the very cheap Band-Aid sold on the street, separate the gauze and cotton pad in the middle, and stuff the ginger into the middle). If you are afraid it will fall off, put on socks and stick it on both feet. It is very effective.

The above is an introduction to the folk remedies for treating runny noses caused by colds in babies. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. Children who catch a cold should not be treated casually with medication as it can easily cause side effects. Therefore, parents can try these typical dietary therapies. If they do not produce good results, they should go to a regular hospital for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment in time to prevent their children from suffering greater harm.
