Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) can be treated without medicines.
Most common cause for URTI is viral infection.
And most of viral infections are self limiting.
You just need to drink plenty of fluids orally, avoid oily and spicy food, avoid hard to chew food, do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day etc.
You will be alright with all these in 1 week from URTI.
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.
