does anyone know any natural remedies to cure a cold?!


Question: Does anyone know any natural remedies to cure a cold?
My 10 month old son is just miserable! he's coughing so much his nose is runny and he has a fever every few hours. My doctor sent us on our way with nothing stating that he would get over it on his own. I can't stand to see my son like this and was wondering if anyone knew any home remedies that might help him. I know about the humidifier, the suction bulb, and the baby vapor any other suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

There is still no cure for the common cold.

Hot soup and other natural treatments may help a person to feel a bit better but they do not really speed up the curing process.

Lime is the most important among the prevalent home remedies for common cold. Lime juice should be diluted in a glass of warm water with a teaspoonful of honey added to it. It is an ideal remedy for cold and dry cough.

A hot water bath is recommended as it relieves the patient from chest and nasal congestion. Good Home Remedy for cold.

In a glass of warm milk, add two milligrams of roasted asafetida and drink this milk quite slowly two times in a day. This is an excellent home remedy for common colds.

Steam with Vicks or Karvol is highly effective.

Run a super hot shower and sit with him in the bathroom for at least 20 minutes with the door closed, the steam helps with the mucus and it opens his airways. Don't use the suction bulb too much because it irritates the inside of his nose. Use the little noses saline mist so it help break up the mucus in his nose so it will flow a little more freely. buy the boogie wipes because if you use fabric when cleaning his nose it irritates his skin. Hope this helps!

There you go, keep an eye on him and if he gets worse go back to your doctor.
