I am a very hesitant mother when it comes to Allopathy medicines to treat common cold, particularly for my 4 year old . The reason being, common relapses very soon after the dosage completion. The weather in Hyderabad is extremely dry and winter is too cold out here. I have seen my daughter catching up cold very easily and in an year she will be free of cold only in summer for about 2 months. So I went ahead to adapt the Granny's Traditional medicine that can be prepared with herbs that come as a gift to us from Nature. This works very nicely for my family and my lil one with no side effects and relapsing is lesser. I have started using this medicine for her when she is 3 years old, As any other mother, I took time to test Allopathy medicines on her which has only a temporary solution and with lot of side effects like Constipation, No hunger etc. Ingredients: 1.
