I know tea and honey are typically a good idea, but does anyone else have any suggestions when it comes to the cough/sore throat thing?

If you have a David's Tea store, try their "throat soother" tea. Me, I like to use Oregano oil cause I get sore throats really bad. It's like 20 bucks for a bottle but it should last you a really long time. You put one drop on your tongue every hour. It's recommended to put the drop in a drink. But the whole drink will taste odd. I just put the drop directly in my mouth, it's a bit like eating a really hot pepper lol. My eyes water, clears the sinuses right up, and pretty much numbs your throat which is great. For a few bucks more you can get it with omega 3 which is good for increasing circulation and reducing inflamation.

Honey has anti inflammation properties so swallow some.
Also I know it irritates it but its always worked well for me. Orange juice.
for my sore throats I slowly swallow orange juice, it stings sometimes, but once you're done, a few minutes later you'll feel a little quieter and at peace.
And for coughs and sore throats stay away from dairy. >(

Thank you for the advice! I'd rather not spend any money, so I'll stick to the OJ I already have to see if that works. Plus the meds I have, which I don't like to take, but they help.
Thanks again!!
Blessings

Gargling in salt water always helps my throat. For general colds/coughs, I just let it run its course. It's nothing major, so I don't sweat it.

Echinacea worked wonders for me. Its an organic throat spray. But if you're strapped for cash, good ol' lemon and honey water works too smile
