I have a sore throat...start of a cold? Best meds?
When I woke up, it was scratchy and sore and never really got better. Other than that I'm alright. No stuffy nose, no headache, no clogged ears, no itchy eyes, sneezing or anything. I'm going on vacation and the last thing I want is to have a cold the entire time I'm there.
Any ideas? Think it's just allergies? To be safe, is there anything I can get OTC?
Thanks!

something that's really good is:
2 lemons squeezed
4 teaspoons of ground fresh ginger
2 tablespoons of honey
two cups of water.
put the water on to boil in a saucepan. Add the ground ginger, lemon and honey. Bring to a boil for about 20 min. Strain and drink while hot. You can put the left over in the fridge and heat when required. Tastes great and really does relieve the sore and scratchy throat.
Hope this helps. My family has been using this for years.
