7. Treatment: Home Remedies

Using a cool-mist humidifier or vaporizer will add moisture to the air, relieving congestion and coughing that are common with RSV. Around 50 percent humidity is recommended indoors.

Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and loosen secretions so the body can expel them. Soup and popsicles are a great alternative to drinking plain water and can help soothe an irritated or sore throat. Over-the-counter saline drops and pain relievers can also help reduce congestion and relieve muscle pain and sore throat.
