A spoonful of Palakh bhaji juice mixed with honey and eaten daily will make children strong.

A spoonful of tomato juice, taken before feeding, cures milk vomiting in babies. Adding a little salt and jaggery to the milk heated with turmeric cures the child's common cold, phlegm and cough. One or two cloves of garlic soaked in milk, drinking strained milk cures children's cough. Cough and breathing complaints of children can be cured by mixing coriander and sugar in a bowl. A betel leaf with castor oil is slightly heated and placed on the chest of a small child and gently shaken with a warm cloth, the child's phlegm is released. Garlic buds are mashed, made into a bag and tied around the child's throat to cure the child's black cough (whooping phlegm-Hadkhi cough).
If the child's chest is full of phlegm, taking the juice of tulsi leaves in honey two or three times with a pawpaw and heating the tulsi juice on the chest, nose and forehead relieves common cold and phlegm.
