Mum shares incredible hack for dealing with colds

 

Teething is no fun, but throw a cold into the mix and you really have your hands full. 

 

Sia Cooper, a fitness blogger, shared a top tip on how to relax your distressed little one. 

 

 

Not my typical fitness post, but I wanted to share with you a little something that’s been helpful since my little girl has caught a cold while teething this past week. We were eating dinner and she could hardly breathe! If you’re not a fan of medication, you can try acupressure and massage to the sinus cavities. Simply apply direct pressure with your fingertips and gently rub to get that drainage flowing. Also helps to temporarily relieve a little pressure so your little ones can feel better! Also works good for adults, too

She suggests applying gentle pressure to the baby's face: 

 

"You can try acupressure and massage to the sinus cavities.

 

"Simply apply direct pressure with your fingertips and gently rub to get that drainage flowing.

 

"Also helps to temporarily relieve a little pressure so your little ones can feel better!" 

 

Experts recommend using ice or lotion when massaging the sinuses, as young children's skin can be very sensitive to touch.  

 

A handy tip for when cold season hits!
