Colds are very common in the United States, and most people expect to catch a few every year. Because colds are usually mild, Americans normally treat them at home instead of going to the doctor. Unless symptoms last for more than a week or someone has a high fever, most people simply rest and take medicine to feel better.

One of the most common treatments is over-the-counter medicine. This is medicine that people can buy without a prescription at pharmacies, grocery stores, or even gas stations. Different medicines help with different symptoms. For example, people may take cough syrup or cough drops for a sore throat, or nasal decongestants for a runny or stuffy nose. Many people also buy combination cold medicines that have both daytime and nighttime versions. Some people take vitamin C or other supplements to try to recover more quickly.

When Americans have a bad cold, it is also common to stay home and rest. People often take a day off from work or school, sleep more than usual, and relax by watching TV or reading.

Drinking fluids is another common recommendation. Many people drink sports drinks like Gatorade, soda like Sprite, or hot tea with honey. Chicken noodle soup is also a traditional and popular comfort food when someone is sick.

Overall, most Americans treat colds at home with rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medicine, and only visit a doctor if their symptoms become more serious.
