Suggest Remedy For Cold With Watery Mucus

I seem to have a cold with alot of watery mucus as I would expect but this time it smells pretty awful - is this just a normal phase or will I need special treatment - I have washed out my sinuses with hot salt water - will it help to continue with that?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of viral rhinitis is more.
This kind of viral infections are self limiting and improve within 10 days of time.
So don't worry, you will improve.
For fasten recovery do following things.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Do steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
3. Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
4. Avoid dust, pollution and cold weather.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
