Runaway nose

My little one is sick....again. Its quite rare for her to fall ill when we are in Singapore, but I guess her outing to Paragon's playground two days ago must have exposed her to some cold bug. She's not sitting behind me watching a little television as I try to distract her from feeling miserable.

So here I am researching online some natural remedies to help her overcome this cold. Some I've found are:

1. Lemon (for vit C) and honey water
2. Mix ginger powder with some honey and letting the child lick it 3-4 times a day
3. Vicks steam bath to help her clear her nasal congestion - while this isn't very "natural" its the best I can do as I'm trying to finish off work before the CNY holidays. Also quite mindful of the recent report on Vicks and detrimental effects to children. But I guess it says "if use as directed".

Next, to research more on phelgm. Its an interesting life I lead. LOL
