6 Home Flu Treatment for Kids

Flu is an ailment everybody normally gets from time to time. However, children are more vulnerable than adults, thus they become more susceptible to this condition easily than older ones. Treating flu as soon as symptoms arise is pertinent to fast recovery. These home flu treatments are what your kids need to feel good in no time:

-A Steamy Air Vapor for Colds and Runny Nose 

A steamy air vapor soothes symptoms of colds and runny noses. As Babycenter.com noted vapor eases mucus clots in the nasal passage. This treatment is ideal for your kids to have just before they go to bed.

-A Warm Bath Before Bedtime

After giving the vapor air treatment, indulge your kids in warm bath. Let your little one relax and savor the warm water in a kid-friendly bathtub. Warm water soothes the aching muscles your child gets from the flu.

-Saline Drops and Bulb Syringes for Stuffy Noses

Saline drops for each nostril are recommended for young kids that aren't able to blow their noses yet. Infants that get stuffy noses from the flu have the bulb syringes to turn to for relief.

-Vapor Rub for Kids Three Months and Above

Vapor rub treatments are among the easiest flu remedies your kids can have at home. Rubbing the vapor rub on nostrils, head and chest eases discomfort during the entire evening of sleep. 

- A Room Humidifier

As Web MD indicated, a room humidifier moistens the air all over your kids' rooms. Moist air decongests stuffed noses and remedies chest congestion. Leave the room humidifier on for 5-6 hours while your kids are asleep and resting. After being turned on for a couple of hours, the room should absorb the moist air for a couple of more hours, thereafter. Your kids will wake up, feeling all better the morning after. 

-Layer Clothing for Your Kids During Rest Time

Kidshealth.org noted that layer clothing for kids helps you better accommodate your kids' fluctuating body temperature during rest time. You don't even have to change all of your kids' clothing every one or two hours as they get the chills or fever or feel warm as long as they're wearing layer clothing during rest time.

Giving your kids tender, love and care at home is now possible. Home flu treatments are easy to administer in just about every home.
