Please ma, how should we treat cough? Or what should we give to our Lovely Ones?

For cough and katar. First I steam baby and then massage her body with not too hot water and massage her feet. Chest and side with mixture of ori and metholetum. It has worked for me. When baby was a month old. She wanted to have cough and katar. I did it and within days it cleared. Now she's 4 month 23 days. I have been massaging her body with metholetum and ori and wear her bodysuit. I added vitamin c and abidec drops for baby once daily. She's better.

I don't know about not using metholetum. My twin use it for her boys and I did same. My baby is fine now.

I think i forgot how tasking caring for a newborn is, now add an active toddler to the mix

Ontop all these, i have no help yet till next week. . I barely sleep at night then have to wake early to prepare breakfast and lunch bag for my son.

I started lactating 2days ago, was happy cos i was tired of the whole formula amd sterilizing nonsense, then yesterday it all seized. I was worried, then remebered i only had few morsels of fufu all thru yesterday. I simply forgot to eat.

This too shall pass

. Use selsun anti dandruff shampoo, it works wonders for dandruff on babies. My son used it and it was prescribed by the pediatrician,

Hi where can I get selsun or nizoral shampoo in Abuja?

Thanks Mama. I didn't follow it up on time. We ended up in the hospital. She was throwing up and you know the rest of the story. She's better now. I was really scared. A first time mum. I know how to go about it next time. I suspect I exposed her and that's where the cough and catarrh came from. The steam inhalation, Ori and menthol rub worked for the catarrh but the cough was dry cough and painful. Her chest is clear now. Even while on drugs, doctor advised steaming inhalation. It helps bring out the mucus. Then I noticed catarrh and cough is in the air


Is Abidec a multivitamin?

How did I miss this mention Ms is packing up now but I sleep like a drunkard these days at work
Thankfully my stress level has diminished cos I got a young girl to stay with me for now. But I need cure to stop embarrassing my family name with drunken sleeping at work everyday

Oh, glad you got help in advance because you would really need it when the baby comes. Lol @drunken Master sleep, I usually have that phase in 1st trimester

Most cosmetics shops have them especially selsun. You can check markets or cosmetics department of any shopping malls.

I just envy you right now. We are together on this drunken sleep at work, thank God for the shelf beside my seat, you know the rest of the story.

Some days ago my boss called me and asked if I can continue working cos she noticed the stress is really showing on my face I told her I don't want to stop working she should only extend my resumption time, she did and I told DH then that one said he can't drop us at work again cos he has to beat hold up in the morning so I'm back to square one again cos I can't be struggling for taxi in the morning and do same in the evening, I just tired

Hello Mummies,

Currently dealing with a 20months old toddler who is coughing and throwing up/ with a runny nose and almost zero appetite (P.S. She loves food).

She's taking lots of fluids but not food, when she eats a little...we prepare for a throwing up episode.

We were just treated in the hospital with antibiotics for a food poisoning and after using the follow-up medication for a few days, she was still throwing up so i stopped it and only using cough syrup and vitamins.

I will try the steam bath today. Any other ideas what to do?

Mama with this issue of throwing up, have you tried deworming her because it's every three months.
The cough can also be the cause.

unex50:


she's 11months old.

sorry for replying late. I think she's too young for hair growth creams and edge control. Just maintain an healthy hair regime and the scald portions will recover. Always moisturise and lock with oil or butter. You can use Shea butter or coconut oil/olive oil. You also need to get a satin fabric to use as underlay for her head while she sleeps. For now, you have to get a style that will cover it up.

any family full cream milk is OK. Nido/peak/loya

Aitee1:

Forget that procedure. Express the milk by hand intermittently, especially whenever it's full to the point of hurting. Milk production slows down and halts totally, within two-three days. Do this right and you won't even experience engorgement.

Surulady:
Dear mothers ,please using coconut oil or Shea butter mixed with skineal as babies body cream which one is better ?


Electric Tippee bottle sterilizer for sale
Brand new,ready to give out below cost price

Cold pressed coconut oil please...
A friend sells a nafdac approved one. It's very good for babies.

Please don't deworm every 3 months. Even 6 months that is recommended, some paediatricians will ask you if your child is eating dirt

First of all run another test to be sure infection is cleared. Once you confirm that try natural remedies. Chop Garlic & ginger, boil in a little water to get the juice out, plus honey to sweeten (since she is over 1 year old). Give her a spoonful every 6 hours. Continue your vitamin C. Also increase her consumption of fruits (pineapple is great for catarrh)

This is so helpful but ma my son is having catarrh and his temperature is a bit high. Pls how do get the temperature back to normal...my clinic appointment is still Monday what do I do ?

giselle237:
First of all, u should always remember that babies are still very young and as such their immune system is still fragile. Their organs are still getting a hang of things which includes their lungs.
Learn to protect your babies until their immune system has fully developed.

For cough give vitamin c three times a day for 5-7 days.. it might be a simple and acute respiratory illness otherwise known as flu..... flu or common cold will resolve on its own.. just keep the child hydrated and well rested with vitamin C... if catarrh joins... u can do steam inhalation when necessary

if symptoms dont resolve and you also notice catarrh, noisy breathing, fast breathing, chest tightness, fever, restlessness or even coughing so hard that it interrupts feeding you should visit the hospital to see a child doctor


It maybe a viral, bacterial or fungal infection affecting any part of the respiratory system which includes the nostrils, mouth, tonsils, pharynx, larynx, bronchi, bronchioles, trachea or lungs

If no doctor has certified that its an infection of any of the above please don’t medicate the child on your own with antibiotics so that you do not further create dysbiosis through treating a non existent bacterial infection with antibiotics and hence weakening their immune system the more

for fever, give paracetamol/calpol every 8 hours. You can do tepid bath too. Just put cloth in room temperature water and place on the head/stomach area. If the temperature persist after a day, please see a doctor. You don't have to wait till appointment day to see a doctor
