Abstract:

Paediatric disorders such as cough, cold, and fever are common health issues that significantly affect children’s overall well-being. Conventional medicine primarily addresses these ailments with symptomatic treatments; however, Ayurvedic practices offer a more holistic approach by focusing on balancing the body’s doshas, improving immunity, and promoting natural healing. This paper aims to explore the holistic management of these common paediatric disorders using Ayurvedic principles and herbal formulations. By examining traditional texts, clinical studies, and contemporary Ayurvedic practices, the paper will outline various therapeutic approaches, including diet modifications, herbal remedies, and lifestyle changes. The efficacy of these treatments is discussed in relation to reducing symptom severity, preventing recurrence, and supporting the immune system in paediatric patients. Ayurvedic management offers a comprehensive treatment strategy that not only alleviates symptoms but also addresses the root causes of these illnesses. This article provides a detailed review of the Ayurvedic approaches to managing cough, cold, and fever in children, with a focus on safety, efficacy, and integrative care. By bridging ancient knowledge with modern research, this paper highlights the relevance and applicability of Ayurveda in managing paediatric health in the current clinical setting.
