Currently have a chest cold. what r your thoughts for relief for the chest congest.? don't mind taking otcs when necessary, but prefer natural remedie
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time, rest, liquids: Inhalation of steam, eucalyptus, sauna, lots of things to help. Usually the lungs and nose are tied together(one airway theory), so decongesting that for a few days (3 or less)with over the counter oxymetazoline and using nasal saline may help.
