A few helpful things: If your child is miserable with a cold, it's hard not doing anything. However, no treatments stop a cold, they just help with symptoms. A teaspoon of honey, cool liquids and soup can help sooth a sore throat and help with coughing. Using vaseline or chapstick on their nose can help with soreness. Nasal saline can help with congestion and the salt can shorten a cold as it kills the virus.
