How can someone shorten viruses ?

[MommytoB]

for a 5 yr old

Supposedly there is a 3 wk bug that going around that starts out with a light occassional cough, then comes a 2 day fever then 2 or a day after the fever breaks . The cough ends up getting worse especially at nite and then more frequent during the day time . Coughing so badly that he vomits recently and gags . His lungs are clear and his lymph glands are swollen but the doctor said it was just a viral infection not a bacterial one . She said if he gets a fever again then she will put him on some antibiotics .

Do you know of anything that could be given to be by 'bathwise or on the feet because brendan will only take something chewable , has trouble drinking water because he just doesn't want too even though it would end up help him , the doctor even told him to get alot of fluids in he still doesn't want to do it, i give him a tsp of honey that the doctor suggested he was like mommy that honey doesn't taste right .

I tasted it and it seemed fine to me !

So then I wish they still had those zicam nose sprays in the stores instead of those sinus extreme congestions because whenever i heard his cough had him get sprayed in the nose it would always shorten it but now they don't have them anymore just the cold sprays in the mouth .
