Re: [Everything doTERRA] cough in 2 1/2 year old

If the cough is tight you need to break it up. For this, I like to be in a small room with the diffuser and an oil good as an expectorant like eucalyptus or white fir. I also rub the oils on the child. Lots of fluid are also important to break up and move the mucus. I also put peppermint behind the neck to clear the sinus passages. You can also rub digest zen on the stomach to further help move the mucous.
