Elderberry to treat sinus infections and colds

[JackEd]

My kids seemingly each get one sinus infection a year. I have to take one to the doctors after school today for said ailment. A co-worker this morning suggested using Elderberry to combat these ailments. I found Elderberry gummies and drops online, my question is, is it to late if you're already sick or is this just the same as an antibiotic?

My wife swears by elderberry, and we have the gummies in our medicine cabinet. They can be used as both a preventative and a treatment. So if you already have symptoms, some studies have shown that they can be helpful in easing them - sometime significantly.

Did you try a neti pot on your kids?

I take it and when the weather changes I pound clementine oranges. I cannot tell you the last time I got a sinus infection or flu and I have yet to get covid (knock on wood).

My Ma just put us outside with a bottle of NyQuil, didn't let us back in until the snot had dried. Seemed to work.

Pediatrician told me yesterday no to elderberry treatment for anyone under 13. Says it a laxative and diuretic, and youngsters may not be able to handle. So i guess if your looking to lose weight thats a go to.

Good to know, as someone who gets an annual sinus infection when the weather changes.

That explains a lot.

I take elderberry gummies.

Do you drink them, eat them or sniff them? What shelf are these on? Candy, medicine or gummy aisle? They really work?

 

[JackEd]

Kroger has them listed in with the medicine section.

Sniff em. Top Shelf. Behind the store. Yes.

I'm sensing facetiousness.

SERIOUSLY, where do you get them? Are they candy or are they medicine?

I don't know how effective a kid would be at using a neti pot, but if already sick I swear by them for managing and alleviating symptoms. Last year I had the worst sinus infection I've ever had, and the neti pot was the only thing I tried that made it at least tolerable at times.

Chewing up a raw clove of garlic works wonders! High in sulfur and a natural antiviral/antibiotic
