Anyone have any natural cold remedies? I've got a fever and my throat is sore. Come on. Help me out
Don't make me eat garlic raw or anything though. All I need is a stomach ache to add to the symptoms
Most successful remedy at our house is a salt water nasal rinse which unclogs the nose, helps with both sinus and chest congestion, and helps prevent sinus infections. 1 cup warm water + 1 tea. salt. Put in a mug, stir to dissolve. Bring mug to your nose and snuff it up your nose. Hard to get used to doing but cuts all that nasty stuff, will help with post-nasal drip cough. You're doing it right when you snuff it up your nose and spit it out your mouth. Gross but it works.
For cough = Little bit of whiskey in a cup + as much sugar as it takes to make a thin syrup. Don't heat it, just keep stirring. When it will thinly cover the spoon, it's right. Take by spoonfuls to help with cough. After a few spoons, you won't really care if you're coughing. [My mother used this on me since age 5 and it does help.]
Gargle with warm water laced with ACV for sore throat.
Hope you feel better!
