Hello Muhammad, You are taking very good care of your daughter managing both her thyroid condition and the recent flu symptoms carefully. At this tender age, mild flu, fever, and loose motions due to weather changes are quite common, as the child’s Agni (digestive fire) and Ojas (immunity) are still developing.but don’t worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ Current Condition Summary

Age: 1 year Condition: Hyperthyroidism (on thyroxin – continue as prescribed) Symptoms: Mild fever, nasal congestion, watery stools twice, no weakness. Current medicines: Paracetamol syrup (for fever), nasal saline drops.

✅ Continue Current Treatment

Continue paracetamol syrup as per your doctor’s prescribed dose for fever.

Use saline nasal drops 3–4 times daily to clear nasal blockage.

Keep her hydrated with warm water or light soups.

You are already following correct measures. Avoid adding too many medicines together at this age.

✅Safe Home-Based Ayurvedic Support

✅ Tulsi Water (Mild Herbal Decoction)

Yes, you can give Tulsi water — but in a very light and diluted form. How to prepare Take 2–3 clean Tulsi leaves and boil them in 1 cup of water for 2–3 minutes. Strain and cool to lukewarm temperature. Give 1–2 teaspoons once or twice a day.

✅ Helps relieve cold, congestion, and supports immunity. ⚠️ Avoid strong decoction or frequent doses.

✅ Mulethi ( yasthimadhu)

Mulethi can soothe cough and throat irritation, but since your daughter is on thyroxin, use it only in very small amounts and for a short duration (1–2 days).

How to prepare:

Take a tiny pinch (less than ¼ inch piece) of Mulethi, boil it in 1 cup water for 2–3 minutes. Give 1 teaspoon of this light tea once a day if there is throat irritation.

✅ Dietary and Daily Care

Continue breastfeeding (if ongoing) – it supports natural immunity.

If she’s weaning, give warm, soft, and easily digestible food like rice gruel, moong dal soup, or thin vegetable broth.

Avoid cold, curd, banana, or heavy foods until recovery.

Maintain room warmth, and avoid sudden exposure to cold air

✅ Note Regarding Hyperthyroidism

Continue Thyroxin exactly as advised by her pediatric endocrinologist. Avoid any unprescribed herbal preparations for thyroid at this age — especially Ashwagandha, Kanchanar, or long-term Mulethi, as these can interfere with thyroid levels.

✅ Continue paracetamol and saline drops. ✅ Give mild Tulsi water and a tiny amount of Mulethi water once daily for 1–2 days if needed. ✅ Keep her diet warm, light, and hydrating. ✅ continue Thyroxin regularly.

warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

About Tulsi and Mulethi (Malathi) For a 1-year-old, you must be very cautious with herbs — their digestive system and liver are still developing. ✅ Tulsi (Holy Basil) – Mild decoction can help in cold, cough, and immunity. ✅ Mulethi (Licorice) – Has soothing and antiviral properties, but should be used in very tiny quantity for infants. 🌿 Safe Home Remedy (Mild and Baby-Friendly) Tulsi–Mulethi Water (for 1-year-old) Ingredients: 3–4 fresh Tulsi leaves A tiny pinch (1–2 cm piece or 1/10th tsp powder) of Mulethi 1 cup water Preparation: Boil both in 1 cup of water until it reduces to about half. Let it cool to lukewarm. Give 1–2 teaspoons twice a day only. ⚠️ Avoid giving more quantity — too much Mulethi can cause sodium imbalance and affect potassium levels in small children. 💧 Additional Home Care Continue Paracetamol (as per doctor’s prescribed dose) for fever. Give lukewarm water frequently to keep her hydrated. Light diet: rice water, moong dal water, or mashed banana. Avoid cold or oily food. Continue nasal saline drops for congestion. 🩺 When to See a Doctor See her pediatrician immediately if: Fever > 101°F persists beyond 3 days Loose stools increase (>4–5/day) She becomes unusually drowsy, irritable, or stops feeding There’s vomiting or signs of dehydration (dry tongue, no tears, less urine) 🧘‍♀️ Ayurvedic Gentle Support (Optional) Sitopaladi churna or Balchaturbhadra churna – only if prescribed by a qualified Ayurvedic pediatrician. These can support immunity and digestion but must be properly dosed by weight and age.

For your baby daughter dealing with both hyperthyroidism and flu symptoms, it’s key to proceed cautiously. In Ayurveda, supporting her immune system will be beneficial. The Tulsi leaves you mentioned can indeed be helpful. Boil a few Tulsi leaves in a cup of water and let it cool to a lukewarm temperature. You can give her a few sips of this water throughout the day, making sure it’s not too hot. Tulsi has mild anti-viral properties and can support her natural defense.

Regarding Mulethi, or licorice root, its uses in Ayurveda can be beneficial for respiratory issues. However, use it with great caution in infants, as too much can be very stressful on their little bodies. A very diluted concoction, only when absolutely needed, might be considered, but it’s wise to consult your pediatrician or a professional trained in pediatric Ayurveda for this age group before regular use.

Since she has hyperthyroidism, continue with her prescribed thyroxin dose without any disruptions. Monitor her temperature and response to flu symptoms constantly. You mentioned she doesn’t have any significant weakness, but it’s important to watch for signs of dehydration due to watery stools. Encourage her to take breastmilk or formula, which can help keep her hydrated and provide support for her immune system.

Consider adding a gentle massage for her, using warm coconut oil. Gentle circular motions on her abdomen may be soothing, could help her digestion and support agni - the digestive fire, without being intrusive.

Also, maintaining a comfortable sleeping environment is vital. Ensure she’s well-rested, as sleep is a powerful healing tool. If symptoms persist or worsen, like increased fever, severe dehydration or persistent stools, urgently consult a healthcare professional to avoid complications.

Ensuring her comfort and easing the symptoms naturally can be good, but be vigilant and ensure any shift in her condition is addressed swiftly through professional healthcare.

For your daughter’s current symptoms, it’s crucial to address the root of her condition within the Ayurvedic framework while ensuring her ongoing thyroid management with thyroxin continues uninterrupted. Her flu symptoms with fever and mild watery stools suggest an imbalance typically associated with vata and pitta doshas. Tulsi (Holy Basil) is beneficial as it can aid in calming the respiratory issues due to its kapha-reducing properties. Brewing tulsi leaves in water can be given but ensure the mixture is lukewarm. Offer small quantities, a teaspoon or two several times a day to keep the body hydrated and help clear respiratory channels.

Mulethi (licorice root), or malthi as you call it, can soothe the throat and act as an anti-inflammatory. Make sure it’s in a very mild, diluted form appropriate for her age. One way to prepare it is to slightly warm water with a tiny piece of malthi and strain it well before use. Again, give in small, measured doses.

Focus on boosting her agni (digestive fire) gently; feeding her warm, easy-to-digest foods like rice gruel or moong dal soup can help sustain her dhatus (tissues) and maintain energy levels. Care should be taken to ensure she’s well-hydrated.

However, any signs of worsening symptoms, high-fever consistency, or gastrointestinal distress should lead to immediate medical attention. It’s vital to balance the effective integration of Ayurveda with conventional medicine practices like you’ve been doing with paracetamol and nasal saline drops in alignment with her prescribed allopathic care.
