I need a good remedy for a sore throat and cold. Got any ideas. It's not for me; I can usually cope, but you know, it's the dh (hate for him to get sick and run down). Thanks.

Heat some water, squeeze lemon juice into it, add spoonful of honey.....my Mom's all time sure soother...not a cure, but sure makes the throat feel better.
|
also gargle with warm salt water
and put vicks vapor rub on the bottom of feet after you shower, put white socks on also put vicks on chest, in nose and will start feeling better soon ** This is an old time remedy and it does work** |

Men are always sicker than women. All the above remendies should have him feeling better, or he will be out for the night.

thanks everyone. well, he's already gone to bed so will wait til tomorrow. i thought i remembered the one re: vicks so i had already bought some, but had forgotten about it. will make him try it tomorrow; all are good ideas. he's pretty hard headed too (lol), so might be hard to get him to do any of this. went to the grocery store today. wish i had bought some honey. oh well.
