    My asthmatic grandbaby gets severe coughs. We put a tiny dab on the chest and lower neck of hemp cream 900,000. Try it on yourself first so you get an idea of what it does. Keep it off the face because it has a vics like vapor. It's way better for pain and stops coughs so they can sleep.

    Hemp cream 900,0002 extra strength on the voice box area relieves pain and stops chronic cough. It smells like vic's. Keep it off the face. I actually used it on myself first. I have this on hand for back pain relief. After 5 minutes you'll feel a nice cooling feeling. This cream is like a miracle treatment. I was skeptical when I used it for back pain. I couldn't even stand up and was hosting Easter for 40 people. I rubbed the cream on my lower back, within 5 minutes my pain was totally gone and never came back again.

    so vitamin c doesnt actually really help with colds! It wont hurt, but in small clinical studies, they did show zinc being helpful at first sign of illness in shortening cold duration.

    This is about the 4th time my 2 year old has had a cough. I came to see if you had any info on a cough and sure enough you have great info on it which is helping to ease my mind. One question tho about the breathing: is snoring and congestion or minor "wheezing" at night ok? Or does that warrant a dr visit? She's sleeping but like I said, she snores because she's congested. She's also still active during the day but her appetite is a bit less than normal. I'm more concerned about her breathing. My husband was worries maybe she might have pneumonia but I don't know??

    Hi doc! My child had a fever for three days highest temp was 39. Then the next two days she had low grade fever of 37, but sometimes during the day it went off to around 36. Her CBC results were normal, although her WBC was near upper limit. Her Urinalysis also showed normal results. She had cough, which according to the pedia is dry cough. But she was fine in a sense that she was doing her normal routine and eats well. On the 7th day the pedia prescribed her antibitocs since she still had low grade fever of 37 and cough didn't seem to improve, although the kid was not coughing frequently. In scenarios like that wherein the fever lasted for several days (oltho it was a low grade during the last few days), was that already a good sign that it was not a viral infection, but most likely a bacterial infection? hence the need for antibiotc?

    Usually, fevers from viral illnesses will resolve within 3-5 days so if fever above 38C lasts >5 days a further workup is typically recommended. If viral symptoms like cough and congestion are present, patient is otherwise feeling well and fever is resolving antibiotics are likely not necessary I hope that helps!

    Make a ginger juice! Take some ginger cleaned and washed.then just use the cheese grater to get more juice. Press and get the juice (no adding water) Then put in some sugar or red sugar about twice the amount of the ginger juice. Put together and heat it with small fire for some minutes and keep stirred.we dont want it to be smelly.just when it reach sirup like consistency stop the heat and let it cool.give the daughter s about a teaspoon or less twice perday. In.twk days it should getting better
