I can understand your concern. Yes, upper respiratory tract infection (URI) can be treated without medicines. Most common cause for URI is viral infection. And most of viral infections are self limiting. You just need to Chat Doctor.  You will be alright with all these in 1 week from URI. So don't worry, she will be fine. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your cousin. Thanks. </s>
