Are There Home Remedies To Speed Up The Recovery From Bronchitis In A 3 Year Old?
my child has allergic bronchitis. She s had this since she was born, and she is now 3 and a half years old. She catches a cold very easily and always ends up as bronchitis within 2-3 days. She is on treatment called Singulair. What is this? Will she have this forever? How long will it last for? Aren t there some home remedy s to speed up recovery and the severity of the cold?

Dear Parent,
The following home remedies may help in reduction of symptoms in your child but will not cure the allergic bronchitis.
Using a humidifier in her bedroom will help reduce her wheeze and cough.
Give her plenty of fluids to drink, cough drop/ lozenge to provide relief from cough. Once she gets older ( 5 yrs) gargling with salt water will ease the discomfort in her throat.
