🌿 (a) Tulsi + Mulethi (Licorice) Water
✅ Benefits: Relieves cough, throat irritation, fever, mild cold. Preparation:
Take 2–3 fresh Tulsi leaves + a tiny piece of Mulethi (¼ inch).
Boil in 1 cup water until it becomes half.

Give 1–2 teaspoons twice a day. (If she doesn’t like the taste, add a drop of honey only if she’s above 1 year old). (b) Warm Ajwain Fomentation
✅ Helps relieve nasal blockage and congestion.
Roast 1 tablespoon Ajwain seeds in a dry pan.
Tie them in a clean cotton cloth and use as a warm compress near her chest, back, and soles for 1–2 minutes.

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
Hello, May I know what is her age? What is the dosage of thyroxine and since how long she is on this medication? Answer to these will help to prescribe the medications with appropriate dose and adjuvant. Take care, Kind regards.
Hello, I missed to read the age of your daughter as one year. Please start giving her the following: Syrup Balakalpam(kerala ayurveda) 1 tsp in the morning and 1 teaspoon in the evening for a month. It takes care of fever as well as in the long run it improves the immunity of the child. Take care, Kind regards.
