Why Not to Use Medicine to Cure Cold, Cough and Fever in Babies

Last Updated on February 18, 2019  by Pardeep Goyal

We give medicine immediately to our children as soon as we see any symptoms of cold, cough or fever. These three diseases are very common and most of the┬аchildren get impacted with either cold and cough the every other month.

Are you also giving your baby syrup for fever and cold?

Are you one of those parents who get their babies injection for fever and cold?

Are you also giving medicine for baby cold?

Stop!

DonтАЩt follow the crowd but use your own brain.

We must think whether we are supporting our kidтАЩs immune system or making it more vulnerable to future diseases by over protecting our children from all the common diseases.

All the diseases are not that much harmful. Some can be a blessing in disguise.

You donтАЩt have to trust me blindly. I am neither a medical practitioner nor a health advisor. But, I am a┬аparent of a three-year-old child and I want to share all the things I have learned about common diseases.

When my child was born, I was also like any other parent, the over-worried one about the health of my child. If my child sneezes at 2:00 PM,┬аI was there at the doctorтАЩs clinic at 4:00 PM asking for medicine for my little one.

But then, I met one wise doctor who helped me out in understanding that what actually cold, cough and fever is.┬а I realized that most of the┬аcommon diseases happen for a reason, basically to build the immune system of the┬аchild at an┬аearly stage of life.

Have you heard the story of a caterpillar?┬аwhich never became a┬аbeautiful butterfly. Let me tell you the story.caterpillar-emerging

There was a caterpillar, trying to come out of the cocoon. The caterpillar was struggling very hard but the cocoon was difficult to break. He took his legs out of cocoon but failed to come out.

A generous child was looking at the scene very carefully. He thought of helping the caterpillar and taking it out of the┬аcocoon. He helped┬аcaterpillar and progressed in taking the caterpillar out of the cocoon.

Can you guess, what happened next? Caterpillar did not survive for long. It did not turn into a beautiful butterfly. Its wings were weak because the struggle to come out of the cocoon actually gives strength to its wings and internal system.

And, as it did not happen┬аthe way it should have to because the boy has helped the caterpillar in coming out of the cocoon. The caterpillar did not use its wings and thus, they were not having the same strength they are supposed to have.

IтАЩm pretty sure, that you have understood what I am trying to convey. IтАЩm pointing my fingers towards the immune system of our children.

LetтАЩs not get into the medical details of cold & cough but understand it at a very basic level.

Understanding, what is cold?

Cold is a body condition, in which symptoms like sneezing or┬аmucus coming out of the┬аnose are observed. Cold can be caused due to the┬аchange in the weather conditions, bacterial infection, viral infection or due to a┬аside effect of an another disease.

There are more than 30 types of bacteria that can cause cold in infants. In most of the┬аcases, the┬аchild develops immunity against the bacteria that has caused an infection. After that, particular bacteria will never be able to affect your child when its signature is recorded in the childтАЩs immune system.

Most of the┬аchildren are affected with cold every month after they start going to school or a creche. The primary reason for their cold is the infection from a different kind of cold every time. The environment is same for adults also, but they donтАЩt catch cold easily. Children with weak immune system get impacted with cold.

What FDA has to say about common cold тАУ

тАЬA cold is self-limited, and patients will get better on their own in a week or two without any need for medications. For older children, some OTC medicines can help relieve the symptomsтАФbut wonтАЩt change the natural course of the cold or make it go away faster,тАЭ

says Taylor, a medical officer in┬аFDAтАЩs Division of Pediatric and Maternal Health.

As per another┬аresearch by University of Wisconsin-Madison, scientists have constructed a three-dimensional model of the pathogen that shows why there hasnтАЩt been any cure yet for the common cold.

Let us talk about cough

In most of the cases, cough comes supplementing the┬аcold. There could be some other reasons of cough as well тАУ like some irritants, allergies, throat infection or the┬аside effect of some other disease relating to throat & lungs.

In almost all the cases,┬аcough serves as a valuable purpose тАУ throwing out the mucus out of oneтАЩs lungs.

Then why does a cough┬аis considered bad? Just because itтАЩs irritating тАУ Right?

If you want to cure cough, then cure the disease which is causing the cough. The baby cough will go away itself when the lungs are clear off from unwanted mucus & dust.

Sometimes your kid might have a┬аdry cough; it means a cough without any mucus. A dry cough is caused because of some infection or irritation in the┬аthroat. Apply some┬аhome remedy to soothe the throat of your child.

тАЬCoughs help the body in clearing off the mucus out of the airway and protecting the lungs; so you donтАЩt have to suppress all coughs,тАЭ

We can say that cold and cough are very much related to each other and coughs are a normal symptom of cold.

Ask your first question

Understanding, what is fever?

Did you ever wonder why anyone has fever during a disease? Why body raises its┬аtemperature? Can there be any good purpose of fever?

Definitely, there it serves as a┬аgood purpose. There are certain bacteria & viruses which get┬аkilled by the┬аhigh temperature of the┬аbody. The high temperature is a natural weapon for the┬аbody to fight against diseases caused by bacteria & viruses.

You can read our recent article to know more about How to Choose the Right Thermometer for your baby?

A fever is a┬аsymptom that something is not normal in your body. It serves as a signal like a┬аfire alarm in your body.

So, what should you do in case of a┬аfire alarm in your building? Break the irritating alarm or take action to control fire? Of course, you will do something to control the fire.

Peter Nalin, associate professor of clinical family medicine and director of the family practice residency program at Indiana University explained in┬аan article on ScientificAmerican┬атАУ

тАЬFever can support the immune systemтАЩs attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favourable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive.тАЭ

You should cure the root cause of fever, not just the fever.

One more thing,┬аthe degree of temperature will not tell you about the seriousness of the┬аillness. Your child may have a┬аhigh temperature with a┬аmild disease like the common cold. It can also happen that your child has a minor temperature even with a serious illness.

Let the immune system fight naturally with the infections by its weapon┬атАЬfeverтАЭ┬аwhile you can help the┬аbody to cure the root cause of the┬аfever. Remember that medicines like ibuprofen may reduce the fever but not the actual infection.

Understanding, what is the┬аimmune system?

We cannot see the┬аimmune system working on a┬аdaily basis but┬аwe can notice the immune system when it fails or stops working.

When any bacteria or virus enters into our body system, it may┬аdisrupt the normal functioning of the┬аbody. We inhale┬аthousands of microorganisms daily through the┬аair and our┬аImmune System┬аprotects us from all the germs present in the air we breathe.

Our immune system knows well, which germs can do good to our body and which can make the situation worse. However, it goes with time and common diseases that help our immune system in the learning process.

Immune system keeps on killing all the harmful germs but in some rare cases, our system fails to identify the disease causing micro-organisms. So, we get infected with common diseases like cold & cough or serious diseases like Chickenpox, pneumonia & MMR.

Once our body is attacked by foreign germs, our immune system gets an alert and it starts working┬аonto killing the disease causing germs.

How medicine works in body

Medicine is nothing but a chemical. A chemical that goes into our body and┬аspread in the nerve system through blood.

Generally, we take medicines by mouth like tablets, capsules or┬аsyrup. Other methods of taking medicines are applying directly on the┬аskin (ointment), drops into eyes/ears/nose or the injections into organs or veins.

LetтАЩs discuss the most common way of taking medicines тАУ that is through┬аmouth (oral medicines). When anyone consumes medicine by mouth, it goes into the┬аstomach and starts dissolving. Some medicines are absorbed by the stomach lining and some are passed to the┬аsmall intestine.

At the end, medicine gets into the blood of the person. The medicine molecules are delivered to all organs throughout the body by circulation of blood.┬аThe heart pumps the whole blood circle in about a minute.

If you are taking a medicine for headache, then medicine is delivered to all organs of the┬аbody, not just the head.

The body cells start absorbing medicine molecules from the blood. The chemicals in medicine will start with the biochemical reaction and will fix the tissues that need┬аto be repaired.

We see the impact of medicine only on the affected system (like headache) but actually,┬аit impacts the whole body.

What is the role of antibiotic in the body?

Antibiotic medicines do fight with the bacterial infections in the body but┬аantibiotics are useless for the infections caused by viruses.

As per┬аMedical News Today,

тАЬIf antibiotics are overused or used incorrectly, there is a risk that the bacteria will become resistant тАУ the antibiotic becomes less effective against that type of bacterium.тАЭ

Antibiotics should be taken only in case of bacterial infection. You must complete the course of giving antibiotics to your child, even though if you see some improvement in two days. All bacteria have to be killed otherwise they will multiply themselves again and the disease will gain strength.

When to call a doctor?

Try to give fruits & vegetables to your child that boosts immunity. But there might be situations when the immune system will not be able to heal the body by itself. It needs an external help from medicine and the doctor.

As per FDA, you should call a doctor if you see any of following symptoms in your child.

  • Any kind of fever in an infant (up to 2 months)
  • A fever of 102 or higher for children above 2 month
  • Rapid breathing with sign of nostrils widening, wheezing, and the ribs being shown with each breath.
  • If child has Blue lips.
  • If the kid is refusing to eat or drink.
  • Child is complaining about ear pain.
  • Excessive crankiness or sleepiness.
  • If the cough lasts for more than three weeks.

If you are giving any medicine to your child then remember to give the exact quantity as prescribed. DonтАЩt use kitchen spoons for giving syrup because they vary in size.

All you have to do is take one tea spoon of honey and one tea spoon of garlic juice. Mix them really well and give one teaspoon morning and evening to your child. Works better if immediately given ,when you see the first sign of cold in your child.

      Hi Hemangi,
      Can you please share the “drowsy doses” that have been prescribed? Accordingly treatment or thereof can be suggested. It is normal for children at this age to be hyperactive mainly because they are still exploring the world and their surroundings. Most parents find it hard to keep their kids under control. Thus it isn’t a reason for you to be concerned. However, do tell us about the medications. Also do mention why you feel your child is hyperactive and hyper aggressive and accordingly treatment can be suggested.

      Hi Meenakshi,
      The cough and cold could be due to multiple factors. The first thing you ought to do is consult with your paediatrician to rule out anything internal that could be causing it. You also need to keep your house clean and avoid the build up of dust which can cause the similar symptoms. You should also keep your child away from people who might be ill as this can also cause contraction of viral illnesses. Always consult with your paediatrician if there are any concerning symptoms.

      Hi Deepa,
      It is common for 2 year olds to be disinterested in eating. They would rather play and explore the world around them. You need to give your child at least 5 – 6 small meals in a day. This way your child will at least eat a little throughout the day. Include different dishes with each meal, try not to repeat ingredients as children tend to get bored easily.

    If you want to be taken seriously, stop writing nonsense that cold is caused by bacteria. Understand the difference between a virus and a bacteria and what causes a cold.

    You must be a Luddite to believe that all medicines are dangerous. Some medicines are used for symptom management. You should specifically state that antibiotics should not be used to treat a viral condition.

      Homeopathy is a better option than antibiotics. I have personally tried and tested this process on my 3yr old and the results are fantastic. In Homeopathy also, try to go for immunity building medication with a long term course instead of short term treatment of a specific disease. This will help your child greatly over the years.

    Though this article is very good and right most of the times…but how do we diagnose wats viral infection and wats bacterial?
    Most of the times prolonged viral infection turns into secondary bacterial infection.
    And not all kids necessarily fall in this category of treatment..my kid for e.g whenever gets cough it affects her lungs directly and she gets cough with vomit which is not good for a kid also temperature comes as a second stage when her body already weakens to a greater degree..I don’t let her suffer just thinking it’s viral infection..in these cases the cough needs to Dry up asap which happens with an antibiotic and this can relieve the child.

      Hi Ranjitha,
      Her current weight depends on her birth weight and thus you must not worry unnecessarily. While the weight may seem less to you, she might actually be gaining weight steadily. Make sure you feed her at regular intervals. Also give her breast milk at regular intervals throughout the day. And do consult with a paediatrician to ensure that she doesn’t have any deficiencies that might require supplementation.

    Hi, very thoughtful article.

    I said no to medicate my then-20-month old who suffered from wheezing, because the doctor prescribed steroids. My courage was tested for a whole week. But, after that, my confidence increased.

    Have you heard of anatomic therapy? Its more similar to your line of thought and extended too. I believe there are books/PDFs available free of cost. Do take a look.

      Vibha, Since your daughter is diagnosed with asthma, I suggest you to follow the advice of doctor.

      Don’t opt for any short term benefit but look for something that can help healing asthma permanently.

      You can download Babygogo app and ask from community of doctors & parents.

      Vinita, I can understand your pain.

      Unfortunately, some doctors prescribe antibiotics when these are not required at all.

      I would suggest you to find a good doctor who first diagnose the problem then prescribe the right medicine (if at all required).

      Give fruits & vegetables that help in boosting immunity of your child.

      Take conscious decision when you give any medicine. Most of the early diseases will just help in building immune system.

      I have no idea about brain anxiety. A quick google search returned this article – http://childmind.org/article/behavioral-treatment-kids-anxiety/

    I am surprised to see that a person from non-medical background have written so insightful article.

    A must read for every parent.
