Just rest and time. Keep them warm and lots of water.

Try some ginger,it works wonders!

vaporisers, Panadol and fluids good luck

Olive leaf extract, it helps to build immune system,

There is, unfortunately, no quick cure for the common cold, only ways to ease symptoms. I find lots of fluids definitely help. I rub Vicks on their feet and place socks over the top. Vicks inhalations are good too.

Thank you all so much! Thats true, giving a child any fever reducer during a cold, helps eradicate cold symptoms at the beginning, at the baby stage.

Also; make sure used tissues are disposed of and hands washed.

I find rubbing some eucybear rub on their feet before bed really helps with the cymptoms of colds at night. Also I have found not using Panadol for fever (unless its high of course) helps the cold run its course quicker. Cold as horrible for kids but they usually bounce back quickly.

Vitamin C. For adults and kids. When I see that we are starting to get a cold, we take a lot of vitamins (around 5-6 a day for adults, half for kids) and generally that’s enough to stop the cold.

My brother and his family swear by olive leaf extract. You can get it in a children’s formula. He just takes the extract, and there are also tablets. I’m going to try it for my kids this Winter.

Thanks I’ll make sure I put into practice one at a time, I am very grateful for your time.

If you can get them to drink it, ginger, lemon and honey with hot/warm water. Works a treat and is also natural.

My GP told me to include Vitamin C tablets in their diet during the winter months & to double the dosage when they showed signs of coughs & colds. I’m positive this worked for my 3 boys back then.

How does the bath with essential oil go, is it to apply after the bath or do I have to put it in the water at bath time.

I thank you all, I will go for Vicks, hope I get the right one since we have different mades this way!

a bath with some essential oils that are good for the sinuses eg eucalyptus etc and if possible, good old chicken noodle soup as its proven to help clear the sinuses

Fluids, Vicks and plenty of rest.

Lots of fluid, lots of Vicks and a warm room so to stop the sneezing

I like vicks as well…certainly helps the cough at night.

Vicks vapor rub is really good and we use Sambucol. It really seems to work for us. Also fresh fruit every day for vitamin C.
