[mariadj]

all natural cold rub and vco

nung nagkasipon si baby, hindi namin pinainom ng gamot.  gumaling din naman kaagad.  siguro dahil din breastfeed sya.

[mariadj]

^Bravo sis! yeah...breastfeeding really works! saka minsan pag common colds lang siya...pwedeng hayaan lang basta ok ang appetite at hindi lethargic si baby..kasi on the works yung anti bodies nila ti fight off those viruses eh...water and more water lang

[Dacian]

@mariadj
thanks.  i agree with you, water helps too.

thanks po god bless...

Sorry, I just saw this post.
Pasensya na, but it would be wrong for me to comment on what meds to give to your child based on a forum post. The best thing to do would be to bring back your child to his pedia, have him re-assessed so that proper meds can be given to him.
You see, medications should only be prescribed after having performed a good history and a thorough physical examination. That is why your pedia is the best person to say what meds should be given.

@ishko:
The intestinal immune system of an infant less than 1 year of age cannot metabolize the toxins found in honey and may cause infant botulism which is why we really do not give honey to infants less than 1 year of age.
In short, honey is considered poisonous to infants less than 1 year of age.

Zoe had cough and colds last week kaya we bought a nebulizer. Mejo late namin nabili yung neb so my mom said try namin painumin ng boiled oregano. The following day wala na yung halak nya, We even only used the nebulizer once. And to think na thick yung phlegm na naririnig namin sa cough nya.

[sachism]

Galing naman ni zoe at uminom ng oregano.

[ishko]

^thanks for the info doc leletmd  sinabi ko din kay mother na wag na bibigyan ng honey si baby.. ok naman sa kanya


@sis twelvth_goddess, oregano lang ba ang pinakuluan nyo sis without other ingredients like ampalaya and calamansi? thanks

[twelvth_goddess]

^^Jai - Nilagay lang ng mama ko sa dropper hehe. In fairness si Zoe madale painumin ng meds, nisa-suck nya pa yung dropper kahit pangit lasa ng med hehe

^Ishko - Wala na sis, oregano boiled in water lang. Yung dahon ng ampalaya pwede din daw sabe ng mama ko kase nanghingi lang kame sa neighbor ng oregano leaves eh hehe.

ilang months si baby niyo nung pinainom niyo ng oregano?

sa panganay ko nagagawa ko na yan pero sa bunso hindi pa. mag 7 months siya sa sunday. pwede na kaya?

[twelvth_goddess]

^Sis, my daughter is 1 year and 4 months. I'm not sure lang kung ok na pag 7 months pa lang.

[beatrize zuri]

i've done that to my dau din, and it really works. ok talaga pag herbal bago mag try ng mga gamot.

[momai]

^^ thanks sis. di ko kasi matandaan kung kelan ko napainom yung panganay ko ng oregano eh. antayin ko na lang siguro mag 1 yung bunso ko para sigurado.

[yapeegurl]

Van, kami din noon oregano nung much younger pa si K... that worked! ang hirap lang maghanap ng oregano dito... Now we give him Little Colds.. sarap na sarap sya..

[twelvth_goddess]

^Ang galing nga talaga Pia, nabilib ako ah. Didnt cost us anything pa hahaha. Eh ayoko muna sya painumin ng antibiotics so tinry muna namin.

Mahirap talaga humanap jan ng oregano hehe. Buti na lang meron yung neighbor namin dito.

[ishko]

kami din humingi sa kapitbahay ng oregano... hindi na ulit sinipon si baby.. almost a month na  samantalang nung pinainom ko ng disudrin (for 3 days) then antibiotics for 1 week, umulit yung sipon after few days ..

Pina flu shot ko kids ko nuon, yung combo flu shot, i can't remember what it's called but it was more than 1k almost 2k pa ata. They stopped getting sickly after that.

[suicide_doll19]

my 4yrs old dau rin has a cold na pabalik balik. lagi naman siya may sapin sa likod. minsan pa pag gabi lagi siyang teary eyed chaka kamot ng kamot ng nose. para siyang may allergy. may mannerism kasi siyang yung stuff toy niyang dog lagi niyang pinapasok sa nose yung parang balahibo so feeling ko ito yung nagtitrigger ng itchy nose niya. i tried my best na paiwasin siyang gawin yun pero sometimes nahuhuli ko siyang ganon pa rin.

[swt_fem]

Yung 1y6m ko rin na son pabalik balik ang sipon.. hays. Does anyone of you have an idea or tried Ilog Maria's Propolis Gold? Pwede ko kaya to ipa-take sa son ko na 1y6m?

[beatrize zuri]

my dau had a flu shot din, so far hindi siya siponin at hindi siya madaling mahawaan, nakakatuwa nga kasi pag may sipon isa samin hindi siya nahahawa. napansin ko lang pag nastostop niya ang inom ng clusivol power c bumababa ang immune system niya like sisiponin siya pero hanggang 2 days lang, simula ng naobserve ko to lagi na ko nag stostock ng clusivol specially ngayon na magpapalit sila ng packaging, nahirapan akong maghanap nitong huli. given na twice pa siyang naliligo sa isang araw and hindi na kami nag papainit ng tubig pag maliligo siya, pero may baby oil pa din sa likod at dibdib, unless na malamig ang weather pero most of the time hindi na namin siya iniinitan ng tubig kahit yung ligo niya before siyang matulog,.
