Activities

1. 1
   Cough if you feel you need to. Holding in the coughing makes it less easy to get rid of.
   
   
2. 2
   Take a hot shower. The steam vapors help clear your sinuses, which are often the cause of a sore throat.
   
   
3. 3
   Try not to talk too much and rest your throat. Don't shout or sing. Don't chew gum.
   
   
4. 4
   Stay well-rested! Sleep helps your body regain strength and fight the cold. Sleep more.
   
   
5. 5
   Once you don't feel as bad as before, try to stay upright unless you're sleeping, because you'll find that it'll reduce a lot of the congestion.
   
   
6. 6
   Optional: Use a humidifier. It will help add moisture to your room.
   
   

Fluids

1. 1
   Drink lots of water. Water will help your body heal and will keep your irritated throat moist. 
   
   
2. 2
   Avoid cold soft drinks. Drinking soda or any cold drinks with a cough drop will make it melt and that hurts.
   
   
3. 3
   Drink hot drinks and soup. This will ease the pain and give you fluids and some nourishment. Chicken soup is a good choice.
   
   
   • Lemon juice (acidic) will help with removal of mucus. Drink a cup of lemon tea (or green tea or herbal tea) with honey.
   • Squeeze out the juice of a lemon and mix in 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir and drink. It will sooth your throat.
   • Mix ginger and lemon juice. Let it trickle/run down the throat without swallowing. The ginger will cling to the sides of the throat to provide temporary relief.

   Drink warm water. It will help by stretching the muscles in your throat, and it won't hurt as much when you cough (even if it seems horrible, it works).
   
   
5. 5
   Gargle with lukewarm salt water with a few drops of lemon at least 3 to 4 times a day. The salt should be dissolved in the water. Don't go overboard on the salt because it will add more irritation. Add just be enough to help clear any excess mucus in the back of your throat.
   
   
6. 6
   Make a nice hot cup of tea (1.25 cups of water should do). Put a honey/ lemon flavored cough drop into the tea and mix it up until it dissolves. You want it hot, but not so hot that you burn your mouth. Before you drink, cough up everything that's in the back up your throat. Drink the tea. It might taste strong, but it's worth it!
   
   
7. 7
   Heat up apple or orange juice in the microwave (not too hot) and drink it like you would hot tea. Add honey for an even better effect.
   
   
8. 8

   Do not eat or drink any dairy products while suffering from a cough or sore throat.

Try adding some honey to soothe your throat.

Steam

1. 1
   To a pot of boiling water, add some strong Vicks or any other mentholated salve. Bend down over the vessel, cover your head and the vessel with a towel, and inhale the fumes. This may be a bit hard because of the Vicks, but your nose and throat will clear more quickly.
