Home remedies · Colds, nose & fever
No home remedy here replaces treatment, and none is talked down. What has done good for generations does good — even if no one ever measured it. Where something is well studied, it says so. Where it is only experience, it says that too.
Wash your hair in the evening, do not leave day clothes in the bedroom, windows closed during the day, air briefly at night.
Pollen sticks in hair and clothing and is otherwise released for hours beside the head — exactly during the night, when the symptoms bother most.
It does not replace hay fever treatment, but it takes the edge off the night.
No restriction. With wheezing or breathlessness it is no longer only about the nose — that needs assessment.
Have it assessed: fever beyond three days without improvement or rising again, breathlessness, pain on breathing, confusion. In infants under three months any fever is a reason. Also a nosebleed that has not stopped after twenty minutes of correct pressure.
