This is a health tip for moms if your son or daughter is experiencing a bad cough or a chest cold this is an old remedy that works really well I've tried it with my son multiple times it's been used by herbalist for many many many years so it's to use an onion poultice so what you're gonna do is you're going to slice a few onions maybe like a full onion you're going to put it in boil water for just a little bit especially if your child is younger just so that it the onion isn't as strong so boil it for maybe like a couple of minutes and then you're going to take those onions and you're gonna put it directly under their feet like on there under their feet and you're going to wrap it with saran wrap sometimes I just cut the onion my son is older now he's about almost 11 years old and so I just put the onion straight under his feet I do put a little bit of coconut oil on his feet just to add a little bit of a barrier And put that directly under his feet and then a wrap it with saran wrap and then he sleeps with that overnight and it works wonders to stop that really intense hacking cough that doesn't go away it's very effective but you just have to again be mindful if your child is a little bit younger to use slightly less amount of onion to use a white onion or purple one again just to prevent like any irritation on the skin and you could also boil it for a couple minutes just to reduce its strength so that the skin again doesn't get irritated but this is some thing that I always use and it works every time
I'm definitely actually gonna try this. My son's been dealing with this constant little cough for the past couple weeks and it just doesn't want to seem to go away so I'm I'm really eager to see if this helps.
