How to reduce fever and cough for children during weather changes

Unlike adults, children have a weak immune system. This makes them susceptible to various viruses and bacteria. Children are more sensitive to sudden changes in temperature and humidity. This is why they are prone to fever, flu and cough, especially when the weather changes rapidly from hot to cold.

Recurrent infections and persistent coughs in children are a cause for concern for parents. However, the following home remedies using natural ingredients can reduce the child's temperature and boost the immune system.

What you need is a white radish. You cut off the top, wash the radish under running water and then cut it into thin slices or pieces. Note, you do not need to peel the radish. Next, you put all the cut radish into a pot of water, boil it. You boil the radish for 15 minutes, do not add spices or salt to the water.

When the radish is soft, turn off the heat and let it cool. Before going to bed, feed your child the white radish (both the juice and the pulp), and you can eat it with soup. After 2-3 days, your child's body temperature will decrease. This method is suitable for children under 2 years old.

White radish is great for treating flu, fever and cough as it helps reduce fever and acts as a pain reliever. This versatile vegetable also contains enzymes that are beneficial for the digestive system and many of the same antioxidants found in citrus fruits.

So why not try this remedy the next time you or your child has a fever. However, it is best to seek professional help if your child is under two years old and the fever does not go down overnight.
