Remedy for flu and cough for babies

Often, we were told that it's best to not give them medicine to little one unless the situation is very severe. Hence, I would like to share the following remedies that works for my little one.

Let's talk about flu: it can be very disturbing to the little one especially when they have watery discharge. The method I would recommend parents to consider is to have steam onion juice and cut onions.


What do you need to do? Clean the onion, the big red onion and cut into pieces. Steam it in an empty bowl for 20 minutes, without water or anything. Take a cloth and scoop a few onions into it, and squeeze out the juices.

Note: when it's just out of the steamer, beware of the hot juices.

For babies, you could give the juices 1-2 teaspoon per feeding. Can be countless feedings ya! I had testified this on my little one and it works. If you notice early symptoms of flu, do this and give them right away - they will heal within 1 feeding. For long term flu, it might take a few feeding.

Smaller onions has a stronger smell, if you can't take the smell, try for smaller amounts


Apart from drinking, you can cut the small red onion into pieces, place them in a plate, and put it near the babies head pillow. Onion is proven as a good anti bacteria natural ingredient. But you might need to stand the pungent smell. Apparently, it is good for people with sensitive nose in the morning too!

Cough on the other hand, slightly more trickier. Especially when cough with phlegm...

The remedy is clean and remove the skin of 1 yellow onion (brown skin), few cloves of garlic and an apple / pear. Same method as the flu remedy, merely place all ingredients into a bowl and steam for 20 minutes. Extract the juices and the feeding portion and frequency remains the same.
