What's your favorite sore throat/cold remedy?

[Venomous 18,813]

Sleep, videos on YouTube, sleep, and sleep.

I think hot cocoa is good, but only after it's cooled off a bit; keep it "hot" per se, but not served right after it's made

For a sore throat, licorice or hibiscus is great.

 

For congestion, I like wasabi. It's painful, but it really works.

[FlickerHush 46]

Any type of hot tea with tons of honey. Soothes the sore throat for a few hours. (The best his Honey Vanilla Chamomile tea by Celestial Seasonings ) Also when you have a cold your head hurts a lot (atleast mine does) So what I do is lay down in a dark room and put  a cold wet cloth on my head for a little while. Also a lot of sleep is a good idea x3.

 

OH and any type of tissue that has Vicks in them. They are so much better than normal tissues I promise.

Hot tea, apple cider, chicken soup, and LOTS of orange juice.

Cough drops for sore throats; it's the one of the few medicines that actually taste good. As for colds, I usually just wait those out, but I wouldn't call that "remedy" a favorite of mine...

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Cherry Hall's cough drops. That is all. 

[TheRockARooster 47,311]

I love a hot lemon drink sachet, a spoon of honey or some honey whiskey.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Honey is fairly well-known to help, and I find chicken noodle soup and Sprite Zero to be great for sore throats, too (sugar can make a sore throat worse, which is why I opt for sugarless soda when I'm sick). I absolutely despise sore throats and I do anything I can to make it feel better.

Gargle warm salt water

Tried that once and it made me puke. 

[Meson Bolt 2,647]

Umh... well, I had this one thing where I'd mix up water, apple cider vinegar, ginger, honey, and a little bit of cayenne and heat it up in the microwave. It tasted... well, tasted pretty bad, honestly, but it kicked my sore throat in one night, so.

tea with a teaspoon of honey in it

fixes ur throat in a way that doesn't make u wanna vomit

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

I eat chocolate. Some people say it works for sore throats but it doesn't do much for me. I just like eating chocolate. 

[Emerald Heart 24,588]

NAPPING & HOT TEA

That's usually what helps me out.

[The Historian 515]

When I get a sore throat, I gargle straight hydrogen peroxide. It'll cure what ails ya.

Sometimes I just take a big shot of straight vodka. That kills everything on the way down.

[Patty Thundersnow 4,129]

Honey and lemon halls cough drops. Generic robitussion. And plenty of lemon-lime soda pop, sprite is the best.

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Tea, honey, and rest. 

[BroomsNHops 260]

I make a garlic/basil tea and add lemon to it to help out my throat and colds.   It tastes like soup but so far it seems to help me and my bf whenever we get ill.

[Cash In 21,516]

In the case I have a cold, I'll stick to drinking fluids and I'll usually have a teaspoon of lemon and honey. I'm not sure if it actually works, though that's the remedy I was brought up using.

[IronM17 5,145]

Well, when I have sore throat, I drink a lot of warm tea (I really can recommend ginger tea) or eat a soup. It really helps.

[Thuja 3,658]

I find some tea or egg drop soup helps with my sore throats.  Making egg drop soup is incredibly easy you just need a few ingredients; chicken broth, eggs and maybe sesame oil.  Boil up some chicken broth, beat up some eggs, stir the eggs into the broth, let the eggs cook for a minute or two and you're done just add a little bit of sesame oil if you have it.  Always makes me feel better and it's great for colder months too!!!

[The Kaeya Simp 13,968]

Just straight Honey or Syrup, 
maybe some porridge also as it stops my throat being as sore

[Tacodidra 59,798]

Cough medicine with salty licorice flavor is my absolute favorite! Some of those taste so nice you almost forget they're supposed to be medicine. And the same applies to some cough drops. I use the former more, though!

[Treeglow Flicker 13,034]

Tea, curry, strawberry milkshake and pineapple. Those things help me out big time.
