Home remedies for a Cold

What are some good at home remedies for a sore throat and runny nose? I am 36 + 2 and just got this cold a day ago. I have been drinking tea with a tablespoon of honey and it helps but just a bit. Any suggestions would be great! Thx

Take a piece of ginger and boil it in a saucepan with some water, about two cups. Boil it till the water is the color of pee (sorry for the imagery) and mix it with honey. You could add some rosemary to the water also.
