How Do You Get Rid Of An Upper Respiratory Infection?

I'm at school so I need answers pretty fast....I've had an URI for 5 days an it really sucks......It makes you cough and there is a lot of mucus involved....I know it sounds like a normal cold, but it's not and taking normal medicine will not work....My mom will not take me to the doctor's because she thinks I'm faking, but I'm taking cough drops non-stop so, tell me some cures....thanks...

I've had a URI before, but last time it was worse and my mom is kinda mad at me so she is not going to take me to the doctor's or doc's office because of that.....

Try taking Airborne and/or Zicam. I used to be a music major and vocal majors tend to get sick before major concerts. Those two things are what our professors recommend, and they work!

I'd recommend trying Airborne first, it's non-medicinal.

If you have an upper repsiratory infection you need to see the doc and get this checked out. Go to the nurses office and have them call your mom and tell her you need to see the doc so you can get this treated.

see if you can get an appointment with your local health dept,how do you know it is an URI if you have not been to a doctor usually only a doctor can tell you that you have a URI if you are under 18 go to school and tell the school nurse your mom could get in to trouble for not taking her child to a doctor when they are ill

Wild Oil of Oregano (75% carvacrol) will clear it up and help with your cough. Intially take 2 droppers full per day for 1 week, then 1 dropper full per day for another week. Be forewarned it tastes a little nasty so you'll want to chase it with a strong flavored juice or similar beverage. Oil of Oregano works as well or better than anti-biotics and with it being a natural substance organisms will not grow resistant to it.
