dev,
sorry to hear that ur kutty is struggling with cold. Donot worry. u can give vertilai saru, tulasi saru, omavalli elai saru. any of this, just grind and filter the juice. just lukewarm and add of pinch of salt. all the flum will come out by vomitting or by potty. Since the climate is cold, u can give this everyweek. Coz of this she will be relieved from cold and she will get appetite.
Actually we start from 30 days of child birth, Now my kids are 8 1/2 and 6 1/2. everyweek i give them kashayam.
so we can prevent them from severe cold , fever etc. once the whole body system is clear, there is no chance of getting cold.

u try this. one or two times it will be difficult, after that they get use to this.
