A member asked:

What home remedys can i do to cure our household stuffy runny noses and coughs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Few things...: I like to recommend honey for the cough - there's some data to suggest it works just as well in helping with cough from a simple viral illness as anything you'd buy over the counter. For the stuffy nose, steam and/or neti pots (nasal saline irrigation) work well. Hope this helps!
