Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I know of a Tea that might help. " Organic Throat Coat " it is USDA organic, and contains: licorice root, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, wild cherry bark, bitter fennel fruit, cinnamon bark, sweet orange peel. Since it's a Tea and not a medicine might be a safe first thing to try. You can find it in most Vitamin Stores. From: pominvillek <pominvillek@...> Subject: [ ] Nonstop Cough!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 My son has been going through the same ordeal for the past couple of weeks. We are doing homeopathy for his autism and keep away from traditional medicines(like cough syrup or benadryl etc). This is what we did and it helps him a lot: Go to a health food store and get " CHESTAL " a homeopathic remedy for cough made by BOIRON. Follow directions in the bottle. I got mine from a store called " Fruitfull Yield " in schaumburg, IL. Also, get BIOPLASMA made by Hylands. You can find this is WHOLE FOODS, right by the place where they keep all the homeopathic remedies.Give 3 pellets of bio-plasma to your child every 3 hrs. Using these 2 approaches the cough will disappear like snow in the sun. By the way my son is also 2 years old. Homeopathy is gentle and very effective for young kids. Remember they dont understand Placebos;) > > From: pominvillek <pominvillek@...> > Subject: [ ] Nonstop Cough! > > Date: Tuesday, October 26, 2010, 4:20 PM > > > > > > > > Â > > > > > > > > > > I wondered if anyone knows of any remedies for a very persistent cough for my two year old?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 OoO helped alot here. Eventhough we use Manuka Honey for sore throats, it seems to help with the cough. Lobelia extract is good (should give no more than 5 to 7 drops; strong stuff). Cool air mist at night and cool showers help. Increase the A, E and C.  HTH, S. > >From: pominvillek <pominvillek@...> > >Sent: Tue, October 26, 2010 4:20:31 PM >Subject: [ ] Nonstop Cough! > > >I wondered if anyone knows of any remedies for a very persistent cough for my >two year old?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I had a very persistent, productive cough that lasted a few months after I started taking ALA, but it may have been that I was working in a very moldy, toxic building at the time too. I noticed that dairy and whole-foods sugar like palm-sugar, available at the asian stores, or the little brown-cones of sugar available at the mexican stores, increase phlem production, and seemed to help in the cleaning out process, if that's what the plem is doing. It felt better to have a productive cough than a dry cough. The best thing though was to sleep outside every night in the clean air. This is great except for when the planes pollute and give headaches, which is not TOO common in my area. Also, if one must sleep inside, the bed should be level with the open-part of the window, the window wide open, preferably no screen, and the face pointing towards the outside, and clean the room, dust and vacuum weekly, and wash down walls... The sleeping space must be immaculately cleaned weekly. Bedding washed in hot water. Do away with flame-retardent mattresses & couches & chairs. Sleeping on a long straight, flat board is best, w/ no chemical treatment. Organic cotton. No old shaggy blankets that cause reaction. The child should be able to tell what causes reaction and what does not. The more time spent outside in the fresh air, the better. Even the drywall imported from China outgasses toxins. Wall to wall carpetting is nasty and can be removed. Mold from leaking roofs and bathroom plumbing behind the walls, mold that you cannot see, causes serious and wide-spread problems all throughout the house whether you shut all the doors and open windows or not. Get out of the house as much as possible to let the lungs recover, especially when sleeping, cause that's when the lungs are repairing, and feed the body lung-food such as the whole sugars mentioned, but be warned, too much lung-food and mold/yeast related problems could flare up, esp. when on ALA. ALA is some powerful stuff. Best of luck & keep me informed on how things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Is it worse at night? Is the air dry, maybe a humidifier would help. Or elevating the head or the bed. Any chance it's GERD?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I don't know if this applies to you this time but my kids just went through ten days each of a virus that starts as a fever (5days) then a very hard cough, day and night (5 more days). ugh. I made Breathe Easy tea, ran nice warm baths with Ravensara essential oil for the cough. Additional vitamin C, a zinc every other day, and vitamin D3. Not much else. It's ran it's course and both are back to school and doing well. Theodora > > I wondered if anyone knows of any remedies for a very persistent cough for my two year old?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Could be a little bit of asthma. That is what happens to my daughter - often when she is trying to fall asleep and if she wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. She'll keep coughing and will settle down if we give her a nebulizer. The only other time she coughs is when she has temp changes (she goes outside where it is cold).
