Try making a juice from friuts with high vitamin C content. Plenty of warm drinks & a teaspoon of honey will sooth you throat.
Hope you feel better soon.x

No earthshattering news here: Lots and lots of clear liquids (no soda, coffee), mostly water. Los of vitamin C, in tablets and OJ too. Lots of rest, no extra physical activity, and going to bed early. Put a humidifier or just a bowl of water in your room.
Cold medications ease the symptoms but don't make the cold go away.

Flutabs or Fludrex. Not sure if it is available where you are. I don't ever take antibiotics anymore. Flutabs get rid of symptoms of cold immediately and you take it for 3 days even though you feel fine in half an hour.

just at the tail end of a cold now.
this is what i do, for sore throat, even strep, gargle with straight raw unprocessed apple cider vinegar
take 2,000 mg vit c, then 1,000 every 4 hrs
drink tons of water, tea with lemon and honey
sometimes i use NyQuil at night to be able to sleep
good luck

overload on vitamin C (emergen-c or Airborne) and try Zycam (some say the nasal spray is best) SLEEP and drink fluids. take pain killers if you feel achy.

get yourself some airborne--it is an alll natural med, it works great, you can find it at Walmart/Kmart. Drink plenty of water, eat alot of chicken soup and get plenty of rest.
