A member asked:
My son has a cold, we went to the doctor and they said it is viral so we should treat the symptoms. what are some remedies for cough and congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold: I don't recommend over-the-counter cough and cold remedies for this age group. Humidifiers, extra long bath-time, saline nose drops and nasal suction (the Nose Frieda works wonders) are helpful. An essential oil like Thieves has been helpful but you have to really be careful with oils. Since over age 1,, Zarbees (or honey with cooled chamomile tea and a little lemon could help).
