I always was told cough drops and vapor rub... also a humidifier works wonders... when my lil girl had rsv we used a humidifier and it worked faster then the antibiotics the doctor gave her.
I would talk to your Dr before taking any meds. My Dr told me I could use halls and a vapourizer, that's it. And I've now been sick twice and my son is currently sick with a nasty cold so I'm just waiting to get it too. :(
on my list from my obgyn robitussan is ok and tylanol cold is okay too but you might want to check with your dr first.
