If your child is sick or at least uncomfortable for some reason, you may not have to rush to the doctor. Check out these home remedies that could help soothe:
Sore throat: Honey and lemon - Lemon dries up congestion and honey provides a soothing coating.
Colic: Chamomile tea - Relaxes intestinal muscles and is calming.
Bug bites: Baking soda - The alkaline baking soda helps counteract the acidic swelling.
Nosebleed: Cayenne pepper - This spice helps blood clot.
Warts: Duct tape - The gray fabric tape seems to irritate warts and inhibit their growth.
Anxiety: Bubble wand - Breathing slowly and deeply will help your child relax when she’s feeling stressed.
Headaches: Bandanna - Wrapping several ice cubes in a dish towel will help soothe your child’s head pain.
Tummy or neck pain: Sock - Instead of buying a heat wrap, make one by filling a sock with uncooked rice and tying it closed with a string.
Swimmer’s Ear: Blow dryer - This painful inflammation of the outer ear traps liquid and possibly bacteria. You can try evaporating the trapped water by with a blow dryer on the warm setting.
Congestion: Contact lens solution - May help kids get over colds faster — and make them less likely to get sick again.
Car sickness: Fresh ginger tea - Ginger stops the stomach contractions that tell your child’s brain he feels nauseous.
Mild swelling: Cucumber - Helps soothe hot, swollen skin.
Bee sting: Credit card - Use the flat edge of a credit card to gently scrape across the area until the stinger comes out.
Indigestion: Stick of gum - The extra saliva she’ll produce will neutralize the problematic excess stomach acid.
