When Treating a Cold extra fluids are recommended
Since it is caused by a virus, antibiotics do not work against the common cold. Extra fluids, a cool mist humidifier, and rest will likely help with some of his symptoms. Younger children, since they can't blow their nose, may benefit from using saline nasal drops and a bulb syringe to help keep their nasal passages clear.
Steroids
Hormones drugs created by our own bodies that are antiinflammatory help reduce swelling in joints, muscles, the brain and spinal cord. In some cases, they are also used for treatment of certain diseases.
The lymph system
Part of the germ fighting system of the body.
Dehydration
The loss of fluids (water) from the body and loss of important electrolytes, such as salt caused by diarrhea and vomiting.
