A helping hand - before a cough drives you barking mad!
During autumn, late winter or early spring, children between the ages of 6 months and three years often find themselves afflicted with a rather 'hoarse sounding' cough and a deep chesty noise when inhaling. Many times a child may seem fine when going to bed - only to wake up later in the night with a 'barking' type cough and trouble breathing. As one might imagine, a child who is not breathing freely might become agitated and flustered - which often makes matters worse.
Young infants and small children have much smaller airways than adults, and so any inflammation, swelling or irritation caused by a build up of mucus can cause the trachea (windpipe) and bronchial tubes to become obstructed - whereas, older children may often just come down with a cough or sniffle. Smaller children suffering with this bronchial obstruction will usually also have a hoarse voice, decreased appetite and a fever, which is usually low grade, but worth keeping an eye on. Although they may have trouble breathing, children with spasmodic coughing often don't have a fever, and get better quickly after several hours. Be sure to watch your child's color - if he or she appears sallow or seems overly lethargic, it is wise to seek further medical advice.
A note on decongestants and other medication
While conventional OTC decongestant medicines may be useful for some children, they can have upsetting side-effects such as irritability, restlessness, difficulty with sleeping, or drowsiness depending on which is used. Also, remember that the natural process in the body is to rid germs through mucus. The desired result is to open airways - so try not to give your child anything that blocks passages - further aggravating the condition. Some medications can also dry out mucus membranes, leaving children vulnerable to secondary conditions. Never give a child younger than 15 years aspirin - as this could potentially lead to a more serious condition. Also, make sure any conventional vapor rubs that are rubbed onto the skin are not used for very young children - some contain chemicals that could be dangerous, especially if they are swallowed (so make sure they contain harm-free natural ingredients).
The Natural Way
There are many natural ways to help open blocked and congested chests to promote easy breathing. Children in particular become very agitated and restless when their breathing is hindered. On cool nights, exposure to the cool nighttime air may also help symptoms. To take advantage of this, it may help to bundle your child up and walk around outside for several minutes. It is probably not a good idea to keep windows open though, especially if it is cold. Since symptoms worsen if your child is crying and agitated, trying to keep your child calm may also improve symptoms. A cool mist may be used and it is a good idea to encourage the expulsion of any mucus through therapeutic techniques such as massage. Peppermint oils can also be utilized in a vaporizer in a child's bedroom, or try a natural room spray that can soothe a child through natural vapors.
Increasing the moisture in the air in the room using a vaporizer may be helpful, but the vaporizer must be used safely and kept out of reach of children. Herbal tea (Rooibos) can also help to open airways, while a diet that does not contain allergens, additives and preservatives will also contribute to systemic health of the lungs and chest. Common treatments include using humidified air, which can be delivered by a cool mist humidifier. Using a hot steam vaporizer is usually discouraged because of the risk of your child getting burned if he touches it. Instead, warm steam can be delivered by turning on all of the hot water in the bathroom, including from the shower and sink, close the bathroom door and holding your child as he breathes in the steamy, humidified air.

How has CroupEx Sprinkles helped others?
"It was a scary experience for me to have my 4 year old daughter wander through to my room in the middle of the night coughing and wheezing like a steam train. She sounded so clogged and her cough was brassy. My husband and I didn't know what to do, and we took her into the bathroom and ran the hot tap till the room steamed up. We sat with her for 20 minutes, till she seemed a lot better. The next day, first thing - I got online and found you guys. We had another episode two nights later - and I used these sprinkles, what a difference! I can't tell you the relief I felt to see her settling, and I think the idea of the sprinkles also calmed her down! Thank you."

"Our two sons both suffer with tight chests. This fall has been particularly bad. Our one son had a school concert and had a bout of coughing and wheezing at the end of the evening. His teacher was very concerned, but she was so impressed when we pulled out these sprinkles - all the kids watched us give them to him, and we caused quite a stir! Thank you for great products."

Ingredients:
CroupEx Sprinkles contains the following ingredients especially selected to address acute symptoms of congested chests and breathing difficulty:
Aconite (30C) - Aconite has been used safely by homeopathic professionals for many years to address sudden, frightful events with psychological implications; nasal or chest congestion, hoarse dry persistent cough and restless sleep.
Hepar sulph (6C) This remedy is suited to children who seem pale, sluggish and tend to look as if they could gratefully sink into the nearest chair, tired and weary. It is a good choice when presented with a crowing cough with loose, rattling phlegm in the chest to promote expulsion of mucous. Children who may benefit from this remedy will usually suffer with an exhausting cough that tends to worsen or arise between 6 p.m. and midnight. Applying compresses, rubs and inhaling steam vapors may also improve matters.
Kali mur (D6) - Bronchial afflictions, coughing (acute and spasmodic, harsh and barking) are best suited to this homeopathic remedy and effective biochemic tissue salt. Children who may benefit from this ingredient may experience a wheeze that rattles, or the rattling sound of air passing through thick, tenacious mucus in the bronchi, that is difficult to cough up. Dr Schuessler's (the father of Homeopathy) often recommended Kali mur. as a deep acting remedy useful to prepare the way for other indicated natural remedies.
Mag phos (D6) - This pure tissue salt works foremost as a relaxant and antispasmodic. It is a great supporter for the relief of nervousness or anxiety, (which often makes breathing more difficult) with a sudden and unexpected onset. This remedy suits afflictions that are spasmodic in character. The child suited to this remedy may appear languid, tired, exhausted, and unable to sit up, whether he or she is suffering from acute or chronic affections.
Rumex crispus (6C) This remedy is a welcome choice to address a cough which then runs down to the bifurcation of the bronchial tubes. The cough will tend to become worse from temperature changes - hot into cold air or vice versa. This is also a good choice to help diminish the secretions of mucus membranes and at the same time encourage the expulsion of mucus from the larynx and trachea.
