How to Soothe Infant Cold Symptoms Without Medication

Infants systems are fragile. At such an early stage in their growth and development, medication and over-the-counter medications can be extremely damaging to their bodies. There are simple at home remedies, homeopathic drops, natural medicines, etc. available to break up cold or chest congestion, phlegm, coughs, infections related to cold& flu symptoms, as well as other winter illnesses. In 2007, some over the counter infant cough & cold medicines were recalled by the manufacturers because there were concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the drug. The Food &Drug Administration (FDA) found that hundreds of toddlers were injured. Sadly, some children's lives were lost from instances involving cold& cough remedies. The leading over the counter infant & children medications that were recalled are Johnson& Johnson's Tylenol Plus Cold, Little One's cold brand, Novartis AG's Triaminic Infant & Toddler Thin Strips Decongestant, etc. Needless to say all of these medications put your small infant at risk because of the damaging active ingredients. There are herbal concoctions that are not labeled for infant and kids but are safe for them to take. Be mindful of this when searching for the right natural combination to cure and soothe your infant. A lot of natural remedies designed for older kids can be used in smaller dosages for infants.
