Suggest Home Remedies For Cold
I do not believe in treatments with pills etc. because of the side effects, rather the natural way. I came down with a bad cough and sinus infection. In the night I noticed a rattling sound in my chest which keeps me from sleep. I drink a lot of ginger-tee to loosen up my cough. How else can I cure my bad cold? Thanks for your information!
