COLD & COUGH

Winters in Victoria — especially in Melbourne — can be truly unpredictable. One day it's sunny and pleasant, the next it's chilly and damp. This fluctuation can disrupt daily routines and, more importantly, take a toll on our health.

Cold weather often brings with it a wave of seasonal complaints, especially in children. You might notice:

• Sneezing

• Runny nose

• Cough

• Sore throat

• Headaches

• Nasal congestion

• Breathlessness due to blocked nose

• Enlarged tonsils

Often, these start off as minor symptoms but can quickly progress to infections or fevers if not addressed early.

In the initial stages, simple home remedies can sometimes work. But when it comes to children, things can quickly become difficult to manage at home. As a parent — and a medical professional — I completely understand the anxiety that comes when kids fall ill. I feel it myself when my daughter is unwell.

That’s exactly why I strongly recommend Homeopathic Remedies.

When children are sick, they tend to get irritable and resist taking medicines. You need something gentle, effective, and easy to administer — and that’s where homeopathy shines. From both personal and professional experience, I can confidently say there is no better option.

There’s a common misconception that homeopathic consultations are time-consuming and the medicines act slowly. But I disagree.

You can always opt for an acute consultation — quick and focused, usually lasting just 15–20 minutes. Based on that, the right remedy can be started immediately. And yes, it often provides rapid relief, especially in children.

Of course, if needed, you can always consult your GP — especially in more serious cases. But when it comes to colds, coughs, and other common winter ailments, there’s rarely a definitive treatment in conventional medicine. Recovery tends to depend on the body’s own rhythm.

Homeopathy can make this journey smoother, faster, and more comfortable for your little ones.

I also recommend keeping a small homeopathic kit handy during winter as a first aid measure — it can be a lifesaver during sudden flare-ups.
