CS>ot, herbal remedies for children

[Anna G Warmuth]

Help, my granddaughter has a head cold with a cough (from the throat not the 
lungs) she is 6 mos old, and I'm wondering if there are herbal remedies which 
could help her.  I really want to help her mom learn that she dosen't have to 
drug her.  Does anyone know if ginger tea is safe and in what dose? or other 
herbs & the proper dose. I'm pretty new at this!  Thanks.
