This sore throat is too much for me to deal with! Feels like my throat is raw & on top of it I have a horrible cough that just hurts even worse.. Hoping don't have to take any antibiotics. Any good home remedies you momma's can pass on? I just have a sore throat & cough, nothing else. I'm thinking it's the early stages of a cold though 😢
