Zinc losenges are a great remedy for a sore throat. Available at any pharmacy, WalMart, etc.

Catnip tea will prevent a cold if you drink a cup of the warm infusion, sweetned with honey when you first notice symptoms.
For cold sores, if you can't find a lemon balm cream, appy the tea, or used tea bags directly to the lesion.
At the first sign of a cold, a free use of peppermint tea will in most cases effect a cure
During cold and flu season use an aromatherapy diffuse to vaporise antiseptic essential oils. This can be very effective in waiting rooms and office spaces.
When colds at spreading at your childs school, or at the office a quick and effective antiseptic blend is 5 drops of lavender in 1 ounce of carrier oil. Massage on the chest and lymph nodes (sides of neck from ears to collarbone)
To preserve the antimicrobial activity, cut, crush, or press the cloves, then mix into cooked foods at the last minute.

Hot cup of throat coat tea. It has anise, which naturally coats and soothes the throat. You can find it in many grocery stores.

Gargle some hot salt water, (as hot as you can stand it).
You can also dissolve some aspirin in warm water and sip it.
Sorry, neither one tastes very good, but it will work.

I have seen on the internet that consuming CEYYENE PEPPER is a huge help. I don't know how you supposed to eat it though.
