Seventy percent to 90% of all illness episodes are treated first, or exclusively, through self-care, often with significant success. Symptoms of a cold do not seem to require drastic action such as going to the urgent care center or seeing a health care provider. Engaging in traditional healing interventions, learned in the family, will be comforting and probably will help.
