  • Why can't toddlers have cough medicine?

    Cough suppressants are not appropriate for kids under the age of 6 as there were many adverse side effects due to the ingredients in the products. I recommend doing warm herbal teas and honey. Thyme the herb is a great cough suppressant you can make into a tea. There are also natural cough syrups like V Clear. Focus on boosting the immune system with fruits and vegetables as well as echinacea and elderberry which there is good evidence for. READ MORE

  • What are the symptoms of viral fever in kids?

    Viral fevers can be a spectrum of illnesses. Mild viral infections can last 24-72 hours where some viral fevers persist over 10 days and need to be seen by a pediatrician. Both viral and bacterial infections can have symptoms such as fever, rash, congestion and upper respiratory illnesses. If the fever or symptoms are short lived and resolve on its own it is likely viral since antibiotics are not needed and the body’s immune system fights the illness on its own. READ MORE
