They advise trying to ease symptoms with alternative methods such as saline
nose drops to help clear stuffy noses; elevating the mattress and thus the head
of the bed to help drain congestion; using a cool-mist humidifier to moisturize
nasal passages; and giving plenty of fluids – warm fluids in particular can ease
sore throats. Warm apple juice, warm milk, and even warm water can provide
relief. Avoid citrus juices, which can irritate sore throats. Ashworth also
advises skipping teas and honey. Children don’t need the caffeine and herbal
teas and specialized brews for colds could pose a health risk. Honey contains
spores that can cause botulism in children younger than 2 years.
