Managing a cold at home can be frustrating, especially when your little one is not feeling well. Supportive care like hydration, acetaminophen or ibuprofen (infants > 6 months) for fevers or fussiness, honey for coughs (infants > 12 months), humidifiers, and nasal saline are most effective. Attached is an evidence based video discussing how nasal saline works in treating colds.
