The colder, darker months are time for staying inside curled up on the sofa with the heating on, and if we do venture outside ensuring we are wrapped up warmly. During the autumn and winter seasons there is so much for children to do outside; jump in puddles, watch the leaves fall off trees, collect conkers, and if lucky, play in some snow!
Though it seems no matter how many jumpers, coats, scarves and gloves we wrap our children up in, they always seem to come home from school or playgroup with a cough and cold. Each year children catch an average of eight or more colds[i], and as there are hundreds of different cold viruses around your little one’s are bound to catch one.
Coughs and colds often come hand in hand, as coughs can develop from a cold when mucus trickles down the back of the throat causing irritation and coughing. Coughs can cause little one’s discomfort and even disturb their sleep.
Nelsons Sootha®* is here to help parents bring gentle relief to coughs. It contains the 6c homeopathic potency of natural Bryonia, in a honey rich formula and zesty lemon juice base - ingredients to help bring gentle relief to coughs.
