A helping hand for a cough
Young children (6 months to 3 years) often find themselves afflicted with a rather hoarse-sounding cough and a chesty noise when inhaling, also known as croup or a barking cough. Many times a child may seem fine when going to bed – only to wake up later in the night with this type of cough and trouble breathing.
A child who is not breathing freely often becomes agitated and flustered – which often makes matters worse. Young infants and small children have much smaller airways than adults, and so any inflammation, swelling or irritation caused by a build up of mucus can cause the trachea and bronchial tubes to become blocked.
Smaller children suffering with this bronchial obstruction will usually also have a hoarse voice, decreased appetite and a fever, which is usually low grade, but worth keeping an eye on. Although they may have trouble breathing, children with spasmodic coughing often don't have a fever, and get better quickly after several hours. Be sure to watch your child’s temperature and color - if he or she has a high fever, appears sallow or seems overly lethargic, it is wise to seek further medical advice.
The natural way
There are many natural ways to help open blocked and congested chests to improve easy breathing. Children in particular become very agitated and restless when their breathing is hindered. Since symptoms worsen if your child is crying and agitated, trying to keep your child calm should also improve symptoms.
A cool aromatic mist may be used in the room and it is a good idea to encourage the expulsion of any mucus through therapeutic techniques such as back rubs and massage. Increasing the moisture in the air in the room using a vaporizer may be helpful, but the vaporizer must be used safely and kept out of reach of children.

“It was a scary experience for me to have my four-year-old daughter wander through to my room in the middle of the night, coughing and wheezing like a steam train. She sounded so clogged and her cough was brassy. My husband and I didn’t know what to do, and we took her into the bathroom and ran the hot tap till the room steamed up. We sat with her for 20 minutes, till she seemed a lot better. The next day, first thing – I got online and found you guys. We had another episode two nights later –I used CroupEx Sprinkles, and what a difference! I can’t tell you the relief I felt to see her settling, and I think the idea of the sprinkles also calmed her down! Thank you.”
