Tea with honey and ginger (fresh ginger, grated) and lemon... also my mom swears by a tea made with dried thyme for a cough; might help the throat? (It tastes nasty, though!)
So sorry you're going through this!

I've always done hot tea with honey, lemon, and the booze of your choice.

How are you feeling today?

I'm sorry Ally. I hope that you are felling better. I get this all of the time.

Gargle with warm salt water.
Drink tea with honey and lemon, and I add a little whisky.
Take advil.
Eat popsicles.
Eat broth.

I hope this passes quickly.

This is probably too late since you've already got it full force, but a little old Italian lady I know swears that when you are first getting one-have to catch it at the very beginning, take a swig of vinegar. It's terrible going down, but I do think it helps. Hope you feel better soon. And yes, take some motrin or something.
