A member asked:

What are some good home remedies for a common cold in a child 6-7 years old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clear passages: Remedies should aim to help clear mucus. Humidified air to breathe at night, saline nasal washes, a steamy bathroom, and good nose blowing will all help. Avoid otc cold remedies - they can just cause over-drying of the inside of the nose and throat, and irritability.
