Lucas says there has been some historical research suggesting that soups, especially traditional chicken and vegetable soups, may be helpful in the treatment of some symptoms of ARTI.
“People use a range of treatments from chiropractic, Chinese medicine, and herbal treatments, right through to simple home remedies passed down through the family, like wholesome chicken soup, and we want to know about them.”
UniSA researchers are keen to find out what treatments parents may be using to ease the symptoms of ARTI and how widely they are being used around the nation.
The national study asks parents who use traditional or alternative treatments for their children to contribute to an online survey that takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Participants will go into the draw to win one of five $20 Coles/ Myer gift card.
