Natural Remedies for Children


BY CLAIR WHITTY

This is the time of year when the kids are sent home from school or creche with coughs, colds, stuffy nose, or sore throats. Ear issues can be a problem this time of the year too, with itchy or blocked ears causing discomfort. Take a look at some of the Otosan Fortuss remedies that can help.

For the relief of coughs, you can choose Otosan Fortuss Cough Syrup. It contains Manuka Honey, renowned for its anti-microbial properties. It creates a protective layer that adheres to irritated mucosa giving fast relief. It works well for a dry or productive cough. It’s suitable for children from one year of age. It tastes great and is one of my go-to cough syrups that I use myself.

A sore throat can be very distressing. Otosan Throat Gel Forte sachets are amazing. They can help relieve sore throat, burning or painful swallowing, as well as dryness and hoarseness. They are very easy to use and are suitable for children from one year of age and are a lovely lemon flavour. They are gluten free too.

A stuffy nose can keep you and your child awake at night. Take a look at Otosan Nasal Spray Baby. It is a gentle formula to relieve a blocked nose and it’s suitable for babies and young children. It’s a natural decongestant, helping to relieve symptoms of rhinitis, sinusitis, excess mucus and/or dryness of the nasal passageways. It’s a hypertonic sea water solution that contains natural ingredients including organic Orange Essential Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, and Copper Gluconate. It’s soothing, hydrating, and cleansing.

For itchy, dry, or sore ears that are causing your kids discomfort, take a look at Otosan Natural Ear Drops. They have soothing, cleansing and protective properties, which promote the removal of excessive earwax and earwax plugs. They are easy to use, apply 4-5 drops to each ear.

Or you might prefer to use their Otosan Ear Spray, which contains organic plant extracts for removing earwax. The spray is gentle but effective. It eliminates wax from the ear canal and if used regularly it can help prevent wax formation. This is another favourite product of mine. It is suitable from 3 years of age, perfect for the younger child.

These are just some of the natural remedies that can soothe childhood seasonal health issues.
