I just started to get a little sore throat and stuffy nose. What can I do from preventing this from getting worse? Over the counter products preferred!!!

My favorite remedy is to hold hydrogen peroxide in your mouth for 3 minutes, then gargle it as long as possible. Use another mouthful if it becomes too bubbly. Do this ever two hours and it should help a lot. Hot teas, hot beverages will take the soreness out too. Use two or three drops of the perxoide in each ear letting it soak in 5 or 10 minutes. This will relieve soreness in ears and all this together will help your nose drain.Also start taking 1000 mg of Vitamin C every hour for 6 hours. If you are not better by tomorrow, I will be surprised!!

Sudafed and some hot tea with lemon and honey for the sore throat.

Steam, hot drinks, and zinc lozenges. And consider adding extra vitamin C, if you think you're coming down with a cold. And spicy foods: There is something about them that a lot of germs don't like.
Good luck!

Sudafed and Ibuprofen. They even make one pill with both in it so u dont have to take more than one pill at a time. But it works great and clears up very fast.
