Bronchitis in 3 yr old
My 3 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with bronchitis and given a prescription for a whole arsenal of chemicals. We live in Russia and do not have a good chance of finding any natural or homeopathic drugs, so I am hoping you can give me some practical advice as to how I can assist in her recovery at home. Any easy remedies will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.Karrot13 on 2006-12-29

You can assist in your daughters recovery by boosting her immune system: Vitamin C, in the form of foods, or as a supplement. If she is on antibiotics wait until she finishes the prescription and give her plain yogurt (not the packaged yogurt with fruit), or give her acidopholous in supplements. A proven and old time recipe: chicken soup - lots of it. Humidify her bedroom.

Thank you for the advice so far. One last question - what about baths? are they a good idea for her lungs while she is ill? or should I avoid them for the time being? Thanks again.

I have found from experience that avoiding baths helps in preventing aggravation. Body sponging and washing below waist can be done .

Very interesting the recommendation of chicken soup. I suppose if the child has a fever, hot chicken soup is treatment by similars (homeopathic), rather than opposites.

When I was in Israel on Kibbutz, the soldiers used to drink piping hot coffee in the middle of the day in the scorching heat. It actually kept you cooler than drinking ice water. It was probably the homeopathic reaction from the heat. ... similar to the homeopathic effect of hot chicken soup for fevers.
