    Every time our child falls ill, we as parents make a small promisesomewhere in our hearts that no matter what, next time onwards we w illtake all precautions (by increasing her diet, improving her resistance power,boosting her immunity etc) and not let the kid fall sick.

    No matter how much we shout on our kids to stop their nuances, but whenthe same kid falls sick, we begin to miss his talks, his activities. After all, itsthe parents who suffer the most when kids fall sick. It breaks ones heart tosee the poor baby not doing any antics!

    Dont we all w ish there were certain immunity boosting formulas which, ifgiven to our kids, do not have any side affects and increase their resistancepower against diseases and common ailments like flu and cold. JatinderKumar Pant, a lawyer and a dad of two kids (17 and 20 years old) says, Iuse to give Septelin to my kids for 3 months in a year (especially in rainyseasons) to build their immunity system. I felt it did wonders for them. Afterone course, they rarely fell ill.

    Other moms I interacted w ith swear upon Chawanprash and its goodnessto build their kids resistance power against common ailments while thereare many who give Amla murraba (Indian gooseberry) to achieve the samepurpose.

    Harpreet Kaur, 25 and a mother says, I still remember my mother use togive us a tonic called Shankhpushpi during our exam days. It did help usstay alert for longer time and concentrate during that crucial period.

    And for the kids who do not have any interest in eating food, dont we allknow the benefits of Liv 52 syrup and tablets? I still remember the yummytaste of Liv 52 and how I use to eat more chapattis after this!

    Money Sharma, 28 says, I still remember how my mother use to give usthe red-coloured Liv 52 syrup to increase our appetite, especially after about of fever. It did wonders w ith my hunger. Now that I am a dad of 1year old kid, I give the same to my baby, though the colour is no longerred!

    In this article I w ill discuss commonly used alternative medicines (mostlyAyurvedic, homoepathic) which we give to our children to increase theirimmunity, hunger, stamina and deal w ith common ailments like teething (ininfants and toddlers).

    Important Note - All the information discussed in this article is purelybased on my own research and discussions I had with other parents, ourparents in the family, my friends etc. If you wish to use any of thesesuggestions, please consult your family doctor, before giving anymedicine to you kids. I do not take any responsibilty for any dosageinformation mentioned here.

    Regular De -Worming for Kids

    21. Zentel Though not homoepathic or ayurvedic, this allopatheticmedicine is used for regular de-worming in kids. To start w ith Zentel I w illrecommend that you should consult your physician. The usual dose inchildren between one and two years of age is 10 mL (200 mg) of ZENTELsuspension as a single dose. In heavy mixed infestation involvingStrongyloides or Taeniasis, a single daily dose may be inadequate and thedose may be given for three consecutive days.

    Regulation of Monthly Periods In Adolescent Girls

    22. Ashokarishta Ashokarishta is a female menstruation tonic ( ayurvedic)largely used to regulate periods, cramps and other possible problemsassociated w ith it. Ashokarishta is a very effective treatment formenopausal symptoms, regulating menstruation and menstrual pain anddiscomforts.

    I reiterate that all the above information is based truly on my researchand you should consult your doctor before administrating any remedy toyour baby.

    I would also like to hear what medicines/alternative therapy you as parentsuse for your kids well being. Looking forward to hear from you!

    However, some parents are also of the belief that let the kids grow upnaturally, w ith healthy and regular diet.

    The best six doctors anywhereAnd no one can deny itAre sunshine, water, rest, and airExercise and diet.

    Stay Healthy!

    Hi, Sir my 2.5 year old child falls sick very often its now every month thatshe is ill and mostly it is throat infection along with vomiting. Tis is mainlybcoz of her thumb sucking habit. She wants her thumb while sleeping andwhen she is idle or in a new environment. She is a pricey eater and does notlike anything in particular. Her frequent sickness along with pricky eatinghabit has got her down to 11.5 kgs. I had tried Septilin for 3 months but herdoc asked me to start it again for 6 months this time.After reading your article I was thinking of starting septilin along with liv52 forher and the probiotic Yakult. Pls advice if that would be fine and frequency.Awaiting your reply. Thank you.
