herbal remedies for babies

[yapeegurl]

i'd have to agree with sis amie30.. we do not give antibiotics to our boy unless prescribed by his pedia..

[amie30]

may honey akong nabili from bohol bee farm when we went there for vacation.. Nabasa ko nga somewhere na it's good for cough.. pero hesitant akong ipatry kay baby - ok lang ba sa kanya yun, she's 19months now..

lahat naman ng pinapainom ko sis na antibiotic ke baby prescribed ng pedia nia, sinabi ko  na din na pwede ba na hindi antibiotic sagot sakin no choice ako dahil ma plema daw baby ko  ...kung pwede sana na wag antibiotic agad....feeling ko maluuto ng husto katawan nia sa antibiotic....kaya sana kung may other herbal remedies para ilabas nia lahat ng plema mas maganda, we've tried oregano saka katas ng dahon ng ampalaya with calamansi, pero yung plema kasi ni baby madikit kaya dinadala ko sa pedia at as usual antibiotic uli ang bigay....ang finding ng pedia mild asthma daw....

try ko yung honey sis para lumakas yung panlaban nia sa ubo at sipon

^sis, you might wana try dr. Cricket Chen. She's a pedia that practices eastern and western medicine. A homeopathic doctor. She has good reviews here.. Search mo nalang. Btw, are you giving your baby supplements that boosts the immune system? Baka kelangan ni baby ng ganun vits. There are lots of supplements that helps the immune system in healthy options.And meron bang particular matter na nakaka trigger ng asthma sa baby mo like animal dander, dust or pollen? Baka you need to take out that offending matter first at baka makatulong kay baby.

@chasiderwin:
We don't give antibiotics for asthma. It is indicated only during times of infection. Baka you need to clarify with your pedia the need for the antibiotics. Iba kasi ang treatment for asthma.
In fact, if palaging naka-antibiotics ang baby, there's a chance that it might predispose the baby to developing allergies/asthma in the future (hygiene hypothesis). Why? Namamatay din kasi ang good bacteria, na kailangan for the development of the immune system away from the allergic shift. This is one of the basis for giving probiotics in  the prevention of allergic diseases.

interesting post. a pity that you can not understand much of the replys to the post as it is not in english 

[AnneMP]

I haven't tried it yet but if my daughter suddenly have an insect bite or allergic reactions or inflammation (like wheals), I'm planning to apply (cooked) oats to them

doc lelet, every visit namin sa pedia kapag may ubo baby ko always antibiotic ang prescribe nila nakaka 5 na pedia na ako same antibiotic ang binibigay... may original pedia diagnosed my son with mild asthma when he was 6mos old, because of frequent cough & colds at palaging may "halak", dahil may history daw sa family namin kaya maaaring namana ng baby ko, every month may ubo at sipon baby ko at kapag papacheck up ko cia antibiotic lagi ang binibigay, nag try ako ng pedia-pulmo hindi cia nagbigay ng antibiotic pero nag singulair kami for 1 month (february)...then march inubo uli check up again, still same prescription, antibiotic and that the time na panay pupu cia... ala naman kaming alagang hayop (kapitbahay namin meron), at lagi ko sinasabi na laging linisin ang bahay at dapat alang alikabok....pero still monthly ang ubo nia....nawawala next month meron nanaman....

sabi kasi doc lelet kaya daw madalas ang ubo ng baby ko kasi may mild asthma na daw cia, yun daw ang dahilan at sa panahon now na mainit....huh? e bakit kapag inuuwi ko baby ko sa province hindi naman....pero sabi nio nga db na hindi pwede madiagnose na asthma kung below 2 yrs of age....pero sa mga pedia kasi na napuntahan namin, yung ang sinasabi base sa baby book report ng anak ko at sa history ng family.

Vitamin ni baby tiki-tiki (3mos to 6 mos) and his pedia shift it to ceelin kasi mataba daw baby ko at baka sumobra, pero tama lang naman daw ang timbang nia sa height nia, pero hiyang baby ko sa tiki-tiki, nung nag shift kami sa ceelin mas nagiging madalas na ang  ubo nia (hindi nia ata hiyang) then shift sa pedzinc (for 5 months), pero di daw maganda ang sobrang zinc sa katawan kaya back ko si baby sa tiki-tiki this month ….gusto ko sana doc lelet ng vitamins na mas makakatulong sa immune system ni baby ko para mas lumakas panlaban nia sa ubo at sipon, mag 14mos na baby ko this 19th of april, maliksi naman cia at nasa stage na ng kalikutan, and mix BF ko sia sa gabi, sabi naman ng ibang nanay sa amin baka daw hindi hiyang sa gatas, e sa nakikita ko hiyang naman baby ko (enfa baby since birth + breastfeed during night and pag ala ako pasok)…panay dasal na lang ako na sana di na ubuhin para di na mag antibiotic eh…kapag inubo papainumin ko ng oregano minsan katas ng ampalaya, kung talagang di na kaya at hirap no choice pa check up tapos antibiotic nanaman doc lelet 


sorry  napahaba ako

@chasiderwin:
I suggest that you clarify the lung findings the next time your baby gets checked up for cough. Given your strong family history of allergies, there's a chance that your baby may really get asthma and allergic rhinitis in the future. Giving antibiotics at an early age is also a risk factor for the early development of allergies and asthma which is why there is a need for the judicial use/giving of antibiotics.
Maybe you can also ask if there is an infection on top of the asthma. Clarify na lang the need for antibiotics, because giving antibiotics is not part of the management of asthma or allergic cough.

Oregano din samin. Nagtanim na nga mama ko sa lata para di lagi humihingi sa probinsya.

Naghahanap naman sya ng tuba. Wala naman makita dito sa manila. Pangkabag naman daw yun.

[BAISANAN]

impetigo - luyang dilaw/ turmeric (dilaw tawag pero orange na yun kulay)
             - grate then katasin, yun katas pahid sa mga wound ng baby kahit yun parang dot pa lang para hindi na tumuloy. tuyo agad yun wound. since 1992 eto na ginamot sa bro. ko kaya apply ko sa anak ko.

fever - turmeric powder. pag mataas lagnat biglang baba talaga,as in.
         - medyo mahirap magpainom nito kasi kung hindi pa marunong mag take ng capsule mga baby nyo. lalagay sa empty capsule then drink.

OT ata toh. budbod nyo sa rice ng kiddo nyo un Malunggay powder, wala naman iba lasa kung di ninyo bubuhos,budbod lang talaga for complete nutrients ng food. Gaganda timbang ng baby ninyo. Mas effective kasi kung hindi dumaan sa heat process yun malunggay kesa nakahalo na sa kumulong sabaw.

ty for the inputs sis matry nga yang malunggay powder...di ko mapakain ng veggie kiddo ko .....

[Dacian]

like ko rin yang malunggay, lagay ko rin sa food ni baby pero hindi yung powder kasi wala ako mahanap nun.

i heard na din about oregano na effective daw talaga pero di ko pa na-try kasi wala kami mahanap.  pina-nasatapp na lang namin si baby.  dapat magtanim na din pala kami nyan kasi laging may cough si hubby, baka hawaan na naman si baby.

Pag nagaantibiotics na ba ang bata, okay pa ring painumin ng honey and lemon?

[darna88]

sa 4 year old ganu kadami pianapinum nyo na katas ng oregano?..and 3 times a day?.....dpat talaga haluan ng honey? pano kung wala ano pwede ihalo para hndi masyado mapaet?..kalamansi ba pwede na?......pano mnyo pala kinukuha katas pinapasetam nyo lang yun dahon dun sa kanin tapos pinipiga ?...or pakulo yun dahon?...

thanks so much..

[leletmd]

Pag nagaantibiotics na ba ang bata, okay pa ring painumin ng honey and lemon?

Yes, you can still give honey and lemon even while the child is taking antibiotics.

[marssie]

^yay, thanks again doc for the answer

[marssie]

^meron mother.. per pot ang bibilin mo.. $35 per pot.. pero ang mga dahon super liit kaya in one steaming, halos half ng pot ubos ang leaves.. kaya I resorted to honey+lemon nung nakita ko sa baby center.. it is as effective as oregano din. Kahapon bad cough si kyle. In a minute mga twice sya uubo.. 3 times ko pinainom ang honey+lemon.. Today he slept 3 hours nung nap time nya and rarely coughed.. Once pa lang sya nag take today kasi nakatulog.. i'll make it 3 times pa din today.. Until Friday I will let him take it..

Paano pala ang timpla ng honey at lemon, mix with water pa ba?

[yapeegurl]

^that's pure honey and lemon.. wala na water..

[Princess_Chill]

sis hindi ba masyado malapot pag lemon and honey lang?

[yapeegurl]

^hindi naman.. nali-liquify ang honey after namin imicrowave ng 5 secs.
