  1. Bronchitis can quickly develop into pneumonia. You have GOT to take your child to the doctor TODAY. Don't mess with the health of a 2 year old. They are too fragile. Good luck!

  2. Yes, boil steam immediately, put salt in the steam.
    Get some mild cherry vicks salve, rub on childs back and chest, but dont let cold air hit the child or take outdoors with this on.
    mash carrots up good and put honey on them.
    Keep the room moist, serve the child warm liquids, warm foods.

  3. Teaspoonful of honey thrice a day works very well.

  4. question for sun, how do you boil steam? anyways get that kid to a DR. and put down the home remedy book

  5. Go into the bathroom and turn on the shower on hot. Close the bathroom door and take your child in there with you. Sit in the bathroom with the steam as long as you can get the child to sit in there with you. This will help with the lungs.

    But you really need to call the doctor today and get the child seen. It will probably have to be put on a nebulizer.

    keep the room she is in cool…..have you ever noticed when a child has an attack, and you take them to the hospital they have calmed down…thats b/c of the coolness…
    Not steam !!!! Beside when your child health is an issue, PLEASE dont refer to this yahoo site.

    Agree with the above suggestions to alleviate smptoms (except the honey, good for adults, bad for little kids) but if you want a CURE, you need to get in to see the doctor and get her on an antibiotic. Push fluids, more important than eating right now. (Juice, water, stay away from sugary drinks) Go see her doc.

  8. well nothing will stop the coughing completely, not until the anitbiotics take full effect, but steam, put a couple tsps of salt in the water, childrens vics..chest and back, keep her neck and chest warm..honey and chamomile tea..get it to luke warm temp. if she prefers a bottle give it to her that way. keep a humidifier running…if you don't have one…great childhood investment!! can't tell you how many times i've needed one. Chicken noodle soup, through a straw if she has to, it will clear her up temp. so she may be able to eat something more..as much clear fluids as possible, because this will help keep her air ways clear…also im not sure how you feel about giving a 2 yr old coffee but a couple of tsps will open up her air ways a bit…it works for asthma too. Also haven't seen them recently, but those get better bear lollipops…they really help sooth the throat.

  9. there is a supplement that is available online (w/NO persrciption)
    that is a true decongestant that is used in almost all cough syrups

    NAC N-Acetyl Cysteine is what is used as a decongestant
    I use it for my asthma and I hardly EVER use my asthma inhalor

    also a high water in take is VERY important as well
    NAC works by literally breaking mucos bonds down on a moleculer level
    My asthma symtoms are almost non existant now

    I would also recommend taking Vitamin C TWICE A DAY
    about 250 mg - 500 mg per dose
    this is a water soluable supplement so it is only in the system for about 45-60 minutes
    Vitamin C works so well if you remember they made an attempt to make this a PERSCRIPTION DRUG back about 30-40 years ago
