OK here is mine:
Ingredients:
1 lime, 1 cup of tea, a tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of blackseed(you can find this at ethnic stores or specialty stores).
Warm up the tea, squeeze the entire lime over it, add the honey and stir, add the black seeds and stir (you can either crush the black seed or chew them).
Drink the entire drink, preferably before bedtime and by morning, you will feel 10* better.
Another is to take NyQuil right at the first sign of cold! I have had success with this. My cold is less severe and sorethroat too!
If you really struggle with a sorethroat then go see an ear and nose specialist or ENT they have a very weird name that starts with at O but they are called ENT also.
Anyway, get a prescription for magic mouthwash: some of th stuff in it are over the counter but the pharmacist has to mix per the doctor’s instructions.
Mine gave me: Maalox, Lidocaine(prescription strength), and Benadryl! You gargle with that 4 times a day and it will numb the pain, just like the dentist.
Your insurance will cover it! Mine did but I had a copay of $65.00. It beats suffering through a sore throat!
