Things you can do yourself

Most RTIs pass within 1 to 2 weeks. You can usually treat your symptoms at home.

Following this advice will help you stay well:

  • get plenty of rest

  • keep warm

  • drink plenty of fluids

  • use over the counter medications to help give relief

Due to this study looking at different nasal sprays we would prefer that you didn’t use over the counter nasal sprays, or a nasal douche.

Any nasal spray prescribed by your doctor is ok to use.

If you get the symptoms of COVID-19 you need to follow government advice.
