The common cold season is here, and if you have children, you will likely feel their suffering from these annoying upper respiratory tract viral infections. Due to their lack of immunity, children experience more colds than adults. With each cold producing symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, and mild fever lasting up to seven to 10 days, it may seem that children are nearly continuously sick.
Parents certainly want their ill children to feel better, and naturally, they want to help. A frequent solution is over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, which are heavily advertised to treat many maladies, including colds. A stroll down your local pharmacy drug aisle will highlight the numerous products available for adults and children.
