How Do You Relieve Cold Symptoms?


Today will not be as productive as I had planned.  Both girls are home sick today, and I somehow had a feeling that they would be, seeing as they did not go trick or treating last night because of head colds.  It always seems that with the first real sign of colder weather, we are usually the first ones hit with cold season.

Thankfully over the last two weeks, I had been concentrating on grabbing some free cold medicine offers at the local drug stores, and we are fully stocked up on cough drops! 

I always hate seeing my girls sick and feeling under the weather, but it always seems that no matter what we try nothing really works to relieve their discomfort.   My question to you is, how to do relieve stuffy heads and coughing in your home?  Do you have sure fire remedies that work?

Lots of rest! When my kids get sick, nothing ever seems to work either, or if it works the first time, it seems to not work the next time, so I say lots of fluids and lots of rest!

For sore throats, I always gargled with warm water, and a little salt. You can also try some caffeine free tea, with some honey.

Aleve cold and sinus really works for me.
