How to cure infants colds without taking medicines specially for a g6pd deficient?

Supportive care: If you find a "cure" for colds, let me know and together we'll become rich! In other words, there is no "cure" - colds are caused by a virus and we have no medicine that cures them. We can only offer supportive care, and that is the same for an infant with G6PD as not. Humidity, nasal saline drops with bulb suction, sleep slightly inclined, take in shower, and small & frequent feeds.

Colds: Colds usually run 7-10 days no matter what we do . However, salt water nose drops and a vaporizer can make life more comfortkable for the infant
