For every sprain, sunburn, bug bite, burn, bump, and strain that your children experience, what first aid do you give? Do you automatically resort to medication once they experience any of these? Or do you panic and see a pediatrician immediately to help your child feel better? Although these are not major injuries or health problems, these can make your little ones feel very uncomfortable, thus you must give them immediate relief. But do you know that the best product which can give them just that is just right behind your kitchen doors? Why don't you read on to know which of these kitchen foods can help relieve your children's pain and discomfort.

Start with that smelly onion that you use for cooking great meals. If your child has been stung by a bee or bitten by a bug, simply use freshly cut onion, rub it to the infected area, and voila, that will take away the itch or the hurt in an instant. How about sprains, bumps, and strains? Smelly onion is also very effective at those. If you have athletic kids who keep having minor injuries while playing, you can tape on a sliced, yellow onion overnight over the injured area to help reduce the pain and swelling. And if your child experienced non-stop coughing, don't hesitate to use again, this smelly onion which is thinly sliced, wrapped in cheese cloth, and warmed in the oven at 200 degrees. Simply put it on your child's chest and then cover it with a T-shirt. You'll see, your child will stop coughing in no time.

How about burn and sunburn? Well, why don't you go over that honey jar and start using that sticky solution to treat minor burns. Your child may think that you're letting him or her eat honey, but not this time. You will apply it to the burned area so that will give relief in a jiffy. But make sure you use only raw, natural honey, okay? As for sunburn, that apple cider vinegar that you often use in cooking, well you can put one cup of it in your child's bath. Ask your child how it was and for sure he or she will answer, "That was so cool and soothing!"

Smelly onion, honey, and apple cider vinegar are just some of the kitchen foods that you can use to give your children itch and pain relief. Who says you need to spend more just to make them feel better? Everything is just right at your kitchen. Take a look.
