What are the best Indian home remedies for throat infection in toddlers, and how can they be safely used? - #12333

My toddler has been suffering from a throat infection, and I’m looking for safe and natural remedies that can provide relief without harsh medications. I know that home remedies passed down through generations can be very effective, but I want to make sure they are safe for my little one. I’m especially interested in Indian remedies for treating throat infections in toddlers. One common remedy I’ve heard about is honey and warm water. Since honey has antibacterial properties, can it be used to soothe the throat and reduce irritation? How much honey can be safely given to a toddler, and at what age is it safe to use honey for children? I’ve also read about Tulsi leaves for treating throat infections. How does Tulsi help in relieving throat pain and reducing inflammation in toddlers? Should it be boiled with water and given as a tea, or can Tulsi juice be used directly for relief? Another remedy I came across is saltwater gargles. While this is commonly used by adults, is it safe to use for toddlers? If yes, how can it be safely administered to a toddler to reduce throat infection and ease discomfort? Lastly, I read that warm soup made with ginger and garlic can help in soothing a sore throat and boosting immunity. Can this remedy be used for toddlers, and how should it be prepared to make it safe and palatable for young children? If anyone has tried any home remedies for toddlers with throat infections, I’d love to hear about your experience. What worked best for your child, and how did you ensure the remedies were safe and effective? Looking forward to your insights!
