He is who I am really worried about. I'm new to this parenting thing and I don't want to be a hypochondriac. He coughs for roughly 5-6 seconds when it is worst and he has had a continuous runny nose throughout the day. For 2 days now. Is there any herbal remedy I can give him to clear out this cough and end the runny nose? I was also wondering if the runny nose was just because it is cold as well and that plays a role too.
Any help would be appreciated...
Chances are my Dad and Uncle who I'm visiting will want him to be taken to a Western Dr. I would prefer to go herbal first and then antibiotics if there is no resolve.
