Vitamin C mega dose. I take honey and lemon for my throat. It can be in tea or all by itself warmed up.
Gargling with warm salt water is soothing and good for a sore throat. So is ginger.
Take some type of pain reliever and a cough drop before going to bed. Sleep slightly inclined if you're having trouble breathing.
Plenty of rest and fluids. Keep your humidifier going. Don't stress. Neti pots are good for stuffy noses and sore throats. Try to keep breathing through your nose, is possible. Your nose is a natural filter.
Drink lots of water and give it about a week. You don't really need over the counter drugs for colds and sore throats.
P.S. Don't yell at anyone while your throat is sore. Makes it worse! That goes for sports, etc.
Thanks for this post. We all need to be reminded of good home remedies this time of year.
