What is a good home remedy for a congested throat?!


Question: What is a good home remedy for a congested throat?
My 5 year-old niece is sick. We took her to the city with us, last night. She was coughing nonstop! I got a Sunny Delight at Quick Trip and she coughed all over it. So I drank it and woke up this morning, barely breathing. What is a good home remedy?

Honey with lemon is good. Essential oils are good too. Peppermint, eucalyptus, doTerra's Breathe and On Guard blends are great! Yes, hot showers, or putting a pot on the stove with water and essential oils, turning it on, putting a towel over your head and the pot, then inhaling the steam (make sure it's not too hot).

Hot showers will help, the hot steam will open up your chest and windpipe a bit. Other than that, hot water with lemon and honey will help the throat feel soothed.

Tea with honey

wait... so... for you or her? Then I suggest eucalyptus oil
