Most cases of roseola will resolve with over the counter medicines and bed rest within the space of between one and two weeks, however, there are some home remedies which will help you treat the symptoms of roseola naturally, in order to make the sufferer feel as comfortable as possible whilst they endure this relatively mild illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If at any point it is suspected that a person\u2019s condition is deteriorating, then no time should be wasted in seeking professional medical advice or even emergency assistance. In most cases though, this is far from necessary and plenty of doctors go for the line of \u2018rest is best\u2019 when it comes to treating roseola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A combination of over the counter medicines and home remedies works most effectively, however here are some options for home remedies which may be tried with or without the over the counter solutions that have become the norm in society… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     Plenty of rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It sounds so basic that it almost doesn’t seem as though it could possibly be effective, but when the body is poorly, one of the things it is crying out most for is rest and lots of it. For busy people with hectic home, work, and social lives, the idea of taking some time out to recover can seem alien or even counterproductive, but if you want to get better, sometimes you have to accept defeat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might mean canceling plans or staying off work sick, but your body isn’t getting sick to spite you. It can be a sign that you need to slow down and give your immune system half a chance to catch up. Watch a box set, get the coloring book out. Whatever you do, do it slowly and take care. If you’re looking after kids with roseola<\/a>, try and distract them when they\u2019re bordering on hyper, they need rest too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2.     Drink lots of water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Well duh, a lot of people might read this and think that it is in the realms of most obvious statement ever, but if you were to hear that over 75% of Americans don\u2019t drink enough water daily, perhaps you\u2019d appreciate this being highlighted as a tip for how to get better from roseola. It sounds so simple, drinking water, but the facts tell us that sick or not, people don’t drink enough water<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implications are wide-ranging can stretch way beyond simply feeling thirsty. Dehydration fuels sickness, as does dryness, and so keeping your system well oiled with some good old H2O could be just the ticket in helping your body keep roseola and other illnesses at bay. If water just isn\u2019t your thing, try a little diluted juice or add a few slices of lemon. Either way, you have to get the water in to beat the illness. Flood it on out of there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3.     Drink ginger ale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Okay, okay. Some people just don\u2019t drink water. For some reason, the big corporations have programmed us to only enjoy sipping on something with a big brand name plastered all over it. Well, as damning a reflection on our society as this may be, everything in moderation is fine and if you\u2019re feeling under the weather, you have to allow yourself a little luxury every now and then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade ginger ale <\/a>could be the luxury you\u2019ve been looking for. Delicious and soothing all at the same time, the ginger helps to give you a fiery kickback to your best self and the best recipes will make you smile. If your momma used to make ginger ale, try and find the same recipe, as otherwise it just won\u2019t work as well. Homemade ginger ale is the nectar of the gods and if that can\u2019t beat roseola naturally, nothing can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4.     Remove carbonation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to try and stay hydrated using one of your favorite brands of fizzy pop, no one is saying you can’t. As mentioned above, the little luxuries we allow ourselves at our lowest points can be the catalyst to kick-starting a recovery. The thing to bear in mind here is the bubbles. The carbonation in our favorite beverages causes us to burp. It’s an unavoidable truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people love to revel in the full glory of a deep belly belch, whilst others prefer to sneak one out behind their hand, but one thing is for sure, everyday burps. Did REM sing that? Anyway, one way of enjoying your favorite drink and cutting down on the acid reflux<\/a> of a burp is to remove the carbonation. You can buy expensive machines for this, that work like soda streams in reverse, or you could opt for the free option. This option requires you to leave the cap twisted ever slightly too loose. Cheaper and just as effective if you can stomach flat Coke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5.     Sponge baths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you can get someone to give you a sponge bath, you probably don\u2019t need to be reading this, as you\u2019ve got yourself someone who can fix you up in no time at all. If like most people, you’re relying on yourself for sickness pampering and nurse duties, a sponge bath could be just the ticker for a natural remedy to roseola. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply run a hot bath and add your favorite bath bombs, bubble baths, and lotions, before submerging yourself eyeball deep and allowing the water to caress you from every angle. Sponge wash for a serene, home healing experience and when the level or the temperature<\/a> drops, simply add a little more hot water to the mix. You’re in no rush to get out of this little piece of heaven, and your roseola stricken immune system will thank you later. Make sure there\u2019s a towel and a robe ready for when you step out, feeling renewed and ready to fight the illness on all fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6.     Sugary treats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is your chance to raid the cupboards and the freezer. All those tubs of ice cream you were saving for a movie night with the kids, they\u2019ve just been repurposed for your recovery. This is far from some fanciful excuse, increasing your blood sugar by taking on glucose <\/a>really could speed up your return to health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t overdo it to avoid any subsequent sickness, but a good portion of your favorite chocolates, candies or a combination of everything could really kickstart your journey back to health. A lot of parents swear by this method and keep the freezer well stocked just in case any of their little darlings fall victim to a virus. For all their potential healing properties though, the main advantage of sugary treats has to be that they\u2019re just so darn delicious, and if that can\u2019t get you feeling better, nothing will. Tuck in and help yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7.     Duvet day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every now and then, everyone from the kitchen porter to the CEO needs to call in a duvet day. There’s no point carrying on as if you’re fine when the symptoms <\/a>of roseola are telling you in no uncertain terms that actually, you\u2019re not fine at all and that it might be time to slow down. Some companies actually endorse \u2018duvet days’, giving their employees the freedom to throw in the towel for a day whether they’re ill or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For workaholics, taking time off, even when they’re sick, can be a struggle, but if you or your kids are struggling to overcome roseola, a duvet day is just what the doctor ordered. Wrap your kids up in blankets and show them their favorite movies. Much more than an effective home remedy for roseola, this could also promote some quality bonding time together. It\u2019s what\u2019s known as making the best out of a bad situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8.     Humidifier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The dryness of a room or an environment can contribute to making someone feel much worse than they already do, particularly in areas with dry climates. Whether it’s a cold and dry winter air or a stiflingly hot atmosphere, the dryness can cause someone’s throat to feel increasingly sore and worsen dehydration. Bringing in a humidifier <\/a>could work wonders for treating roseola at home, as by adding some moisture to the air, the symptoms will be ever so slightly relieved and the healing process ever so slightly sped up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not rocket science, but people sometimes negate the external factors which can make an illness worse. The dryness won\u2019t have caused the roseola, but it certainly won\u2019t be helping it in any way. Like the rest of these home remedies, trying them in conjunction with over the counter medications could work more quickly, but even just giving these a go in isolation should speed up the recovery from roseola quite considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
