meeta agarwalMom of 2 children3 years agoA. Hello, Increase Fluids
Extra fluids can thin out their mucus so their nose won't be as stuffy and they'll cough up all that gunk more easily. Most drinks, like water, juice, and milk, are fine. Warm liquids like chicken soup, or apple juice can soothe a sore throat. Be sure they're warm, not hot, to avoid burns.
