Children under 6 years of age should not be given any kind of cough and cold product as they mostly contain decongestants or antihistamines ( like diphenhydramine) because serious and possibly life-threatening side effects could occur. Reported side effects of these products includes seizures, rapid heart rates and death A meeting about the safety and effectiveness of cough and cold drug product use in children by the U.S. FDA in 2007 revealed that there were many reports of harm, and even death, in children who used these products. During 2004-2005, an estimated 1,519 children had serious side effects after taking cough syrups Hence, I do not recommend Cough syrups to any child who is less than 6 years of age. In fact these medications have not proven decrease the recovery time. Other Options for Treating Colds Here are a few alternative treatments for infants to help with cough and cold symptoms: ✅A cool mist humidifier - It helps nasal passages shrink and allow easier breathing. 🚫Do not use warm mist humidifiers. They can cause nasal passages to swell and make breathing more difficult ✅Saline nose drops or spray keep nasal passages moist and helps avoid stuffiness ✅Nasal suctioning with a bulb syringe — with or without saline nose drops — works very well for infants less than a year old. Older children often resist the use of a bulb syringe ✅Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be used to reduce fever, aches and pains. P ✅Drinking plenty of liquids will help children stay hydrated ✅ Honey if your child is more than a year old. #learn #learnonInstagram #drjinalgada #pediatrician #Childcare #toddlers #kid #parents #parenting #parenthood #childcare #WHO #doctor #med #doctors #femaledoctor #healthymom #healthychild #UNICEF #childcareprovider #reels #instagram_kids #instagramreels #americanacademyofpediatrics #Facebookreelcontest #coughdrops #coughsyrup #coughandcold #cold

🚫 Foods to Avoid for Babies Under 1 Year 🚫 Here are 8 foods to keep off your baby’s menu before their first birthday: 1. Sugar – Adds empty calories and risks early tooth decay. 2. Salt – Too much salt can harm baby’s developing kidneys. 3. Cow’s Milk – Hard to digest and lacks the nutrients needed for infants. 4. Honey – May contain bacteria causing infant botulism, a serious illness. 5. Unpasteurized Dairy – Can carry harmful bacteria. Stick with pasteurized options! 6. Raw Vegetables – Hard for babies to chew and digest; always cook veggies until soft. 7. Peanuts – Whole peanuts can be a choking hazard. Talk to your doctor about introducing allergens safely! 8. Candies & Chocolates – High sugar content and choking risks; best saved for later! Keeping these foods out of baby’s diet ensures safe and gentle digestion while they grow! 🌱 #BabyHealth #BabyNutrition #ParentingTips #FoodsToAvoid #drjinalgada #parentingtips #babysafety #parenting #childhealth #pediatrician #babycare #pediatricians
