Excellent question. Alongside medication, key home remedies focus on rest and symptom relief. Staying hydrated with water, electrolyte drinks, and warm broths is crucial to fight dehydration from fever. Inhaling steam from a shower or a bowl of hot water can greatly ease congestion and a sore throat. For soothing comfort, a saltwater gargle helps a sore throat, and honey (for adults) in herbal tea can relieve coughs. Ultimately, prioritizing rest gives your body the energy it needs to recover effectively.
