cold and sore throat

[margueritebrayden]

I know someone has already posted this question, but I cannot find it.. So, what can I take for a cold and sore throat besides Tylenol, cough drops and using a using a humidifier?? I work and would really like to not feel like I am dying lol.. I also tried Benadryl, but it makes me fall asleep..

I just got over strep throat. They told me to use chloroseptic spray or lozenges but it Did nothing for me. Honey and warm tea are what really helped for me. And drinking tons of water.

Yeah theres really not much you can take at all....basically all the stuff that does nothing!! No decongestants or cough suppressants unfortunately... Be careful the lozenges you use. Herbal is safest. And teaspoons of honey help coat the throat. Doesn't last long but it feels nice for a bit. Decaf chamomile tea with honey too. And sleep propped up. Last week I was diagnosed with just a virus..well by Sunday it worked its way to my lungs and now i have bronchitis ..it *****!!
Feel better hun I know how you're feeling.
