Home Remedies for Children's CROUP
- Steam treatment is the traditional and most
effective way to relieve bouts of coughing. Make
your child's bedroom as humid as possibly by placing
bowls of steaming water near radiators (providing
they are completely out of your child's reach), boil a
kettle in the room or use a humidifier.
- The bathroom is a good place to go if baby has a bad
attack of coughing because you can fill the room
with steam very quickly by running hot water from
the shower or bath taps. Sit and cuddle your child
until the cough eases.
- Mustard footbaths can also be beneficial. Dissolve 1
teaspoon of mustard powder in a basin of warm
water and encourage your child to soak his feet in
the bath for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Try giving teaspoons of soothing Chamomile,
Peppermint or Catnip tea with 5 to 10 drops of
Lobelia tincture, sweetened with honey if your child
will take it.
- Give sips of freshly squeezed lemon juice diluted
with hot water and sweetened with honey.
