Home Remedies against cold

This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional. Here are some home remedies that may help relieve cold symptoms: Rest: Get plenty of sleep to allow your body to recover.   Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids like water, juice, and clear broth to prevent dehydration.   Warm liquids: Sip on warm liquids like tea, chicken soup, or water with honey to soothe a sore throat and loosen congestion.   Honey: Honey can help soothe a cough and may be added to warm liquids.   Humidifier: A cool-mist humidifier can add moisture to the air, which can help relieve congestion.   Salt water gargle: Gargle with warm salt water to soothe a sore throat.   Steam: Inhale steam from a hot shower or bowl of hot water to loosen congestion.   Over-the-counter medications: Consider using over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce fever and pain. Remember, these home remedies may help relieve symptoms, but they will not cure a cold. If your symptoms are severe or do not improve after a few days, consult a healthcare professional.
