Hot lemon drink!
Cut a lemon into quarters and cover with water (in a saucepan). Add some chopped garlic, ginger, chilli, cinnamon, and cloves. Simmer covered for about 10-15 minutes. Add honey (preferably unpasteurised), and strain into a thermos flask. Take the thermos and a mug (the cup type) to bed with you, and sip the lemon drink throughout the day.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hot green tea with honey and lemon for the sore throat, eucalyptus for the stuffy nose and a drop of warm baby oil in the ear for the earache.

Nobody,
For a sore throat , you can take a teaspoon of Honey , that will coat your throat and it will stop from hurting , also gargle "Cloreseptic " (hope i spelled it right ) even with spell check it doesnt always work.
And years ago we used to use very little sweet oil (make it a little warm ) and we'd put it in the ear , and it would stop it from hurting ,an old remedy . Unless you have a real serious problem see your DR.

Using poultices when you have a cold is a good way to make yourself rest.Make a chest rub by adding 3 or 4 drops of herbal oil(try eucalyptus, lavender, or thyme) to 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Aplly it liberally to your chest, and setlle into a comfy chair with a cozy afghan and a good book:D
hope you'll feel better soon.

Try my cure all . Organic Apple Cider vinegar mixed with raw organic honey and water.
The traditional way: 2 TBLS of ACV in 8 oz of water 3x a day. Add honey to taste.

Probably a virus, but see a doctor to make sure it isn't a bacterial infection.
The tea and stuff is pretty good to ease the symptoms.
A bacterial infection in the ear could be a problem, so don't ignore it.

Potato soup along with hot lemonade (real lemons. . . peelings and all) with honey. If it does not cure you it will make you really sleepy and you will wake up feeling much better.
