Care in Cough or Cold
Non-medication treatment for your cough or cold
- Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.
- Try to breathe moist air. Use a humidifier or take a steamy shower.
- Consume warm fluids (soup or tea) to provide relief for a stuffy nose and to loosen phlegm.
- For nasal stuffiness, try saline nasal spray or a Neti Pot.
- For sore throat pain relief: suck on throat lozenges, hard candy or
popsicles; gargle with warm salt water (1/4 tsp. salt per 8 oz. of
water); and eat soft, bland foods.
- Eat a well-balanced diet. If you cannot, ensure you are getting enough nutrients by taking a daily multivitamin.
- Avoid dairy products, as they can thicken phlegm.
- Avoid alcohol, as it impairs your body’s immune system
CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
- High fever
- Ear pain
- Sinus-type headache
- Unusually severe cold symptoms
- Cough that gets worse while other cold symptoms improve
