For the first time in her life, my 3.5YO toddler almost lost her voice last week. Her voice was really hoarse and throaty. When I asked her if her throat hurt, she said a little bit. And that was the first time in her life that she has had a sore throat. I think she got bitten by the URTI (upper respiratory tract infection) virus that had bitten everyone at home. But the situation was under control. The hubs over reacted as usual and wanted to have Baby brought to the paed’s office but I said no. I trusted my natural remedies as I have always been using these to treat myself. Thank God she got her voice back after about 3 days.
How I treated my girls whenever they have a bad throat:
1) Feed them with Manuka honey UMF 10+. I ran out of Manuka honey UMF10+ last week, so I gave her Manuka honey with UMF 5+.
2) Made them gargle with sea salt water at least twice a day, especially at night, before going to bed.
3) Feed them with fresh fruit juices + cucumber juice. Cucumber juice is cooling to the body and is traditionally used to treat a number of ailments and disorders including sore throat.
4) Feed them with fresh coconut water
5) Keep deep fried food and heaty food at bay.
6) Feed them with my most trusted and reliable Esberitox 3x a day.
From my own experience, I find that the above practice is only effective at the onset of a throat infection. If the throat infection is pretty bad with greenish phlegm and a fever, I think medical intervention would be needed for a quicker recovery.
The above is not intended to be a medical advice. This is written based on my own experience.
