Child with runny nose and cough in monsoon

This article is mainly for those parents who has faith in homeopathy and tries homeopathic medicines for minor health issues at home by own. Very often our kids get sudden acute runny nose and cough (only) in monsoon season as generally these are due to viral infection so one should avoid antibiotic as much as possible and should try home remedies and homeopathic medicines as soon as they notice onset of illness.
