Coughing, sneezing & sore throat

[melodylogan45]

What home remedies do you use for a cold. So far I Am taking cough medicine, drinking hot tea ,
soup, eating garlic & staying indoors as much as i can. It is working, but it will still take some time.

What remedies are you trying?

Gargling with salt water is good for a sore throat.

Gargling with salt water is good for a sore throat.

I second this. It it amazing at clearing up your nose and throat. A bit nasty, but very effective

I usually take ibuprofen, pseudo-ephedrine and cough medicine, drink hot tea with lemon, stay as warm as possible...i try to sweat out the cold.

when i feel like i am getting sick i start taking Airborne to build up my immune system and it usually keeps me from getting full blown sick --

I gargle with warm salt and water and sometimes I add hydrogen peroxide to kill the germs.  I have been having a slight cough and sore throat.

Hot tea is my trick....drinking lots of fluids in general is important...I have a lot of OJ too...rest up and feel better soon!

I just quickly drink warm water down then make some ginger soup with chicken.

[tikihut5]

I drink hot peppermint tea.

Theraflu should help get rid of those problems

Thanks for sharing, its good to know about about the different kinds of suggestions here. I will try it next time. I had a bad flu two weeks ago, that was terrible.

I like chicken noodle soup. I don't know why it makes me feel better, but it does. I'm not a fan of tea, but I'll drink it with lots of honey. We all had the flu for Christmas and that stunk. Well wishes to you.

My tradition is boiling a handful of rice with a little bit of sea salt and inhale the the stem. It helped me every time I had a cold.
