runny nose and a sore thropath but no coughing yet...and my to kids are sick as well too. Leave for their doctor to say "let the virus run its course just keep their temperatures down", they don't have a temperature just runny noses and dry coughs, oh i guess its just as well i mean they are only 1yr old and the other is 2monthsold.

Colds are viral illnesses and no treatment has ever been shown to shorten the course. This includes prescription medicines, vitamin C, and zinc. Your personal situation does not change the facts. And the overwhelming medical evidence is that "cold medicines" have no notable effect on the runny nose and cough in children. It sounds like you have a good doctor.
Your circumstances don't allow you to try this, but a medical school professor once recommended drinking a large amount of scotch every day. His theory: you won't feel any better, but you won't care so much.

the best way for me to get rid of runny nose and sore throat is steaming,heat some water to the boiling point and put lemon leaves into the water and get a blanket to cover your head and from the minute you put lemon leaves try to cover your head and inhale the vapor( don't let the vapor go out) try this for 10 minutes.you're better.while you breath the vapor your body will sweat ,it will be a good sign. be better !

Hi there, you know I asked almost the same question just under a month ago and got some great responses. My Yahoo-Answer name is "macita" but in the "search for questions" area at the top, search for " Quick Tips to Ward Off a Cold/Sore-Throat? " and you should be able to see the answers I got. Good luck girl! :-)

Airborne is a great natural medicine that gets rid of colds in about 2 to 3 days. To prevent them drink teas with echinacea. This will boost your immune system and help prevent you from getting colds. As for your children, I am not too sure about the effects of herbal teas on little ones. You may want to do a little research on that one.

You can't get rid of a cold. You treat the symptoms. For yourself, it's too late to use Zicam and your kids are too young for it. For all of you, stay away from the healthy, Tylenol for aches & fever, increase fluid intake and treat the other symptoms. That's all you can do.
