decongestants, throat soothing methods, anything like that- we ran out of cold medicine. :(

Ok! You know what a real great descongestant is?
SALSA! Or anything spicy!
It actually works, notice how when you eat something like this and youre not even sick, your nose starts to run? Well, works too f youre sick....Something HOT! that makes you get tears!

Hi there,
The thing that works for me is to boil a can of coke with a bit of ginger (about the size of half a thumb) and drink it while it is hot. As for soothing the throat taking a spoonful of honey helps. Hope this works. Get well soon.

I know that spicy foods can help but the doctor I know recommended me an over the counter medicine with Zinc on it. You can find it in your Cough & Cold Section of Wal-Mart or Target. I have the lozenges one & it really helps before it gets worse.

Homeopathic remedies really work..try the ones made by a company named Boiron. Also chamomile tea with honey. Many other teas as well.
