You can try drinking tea with lemon and honey i usually get chamomile tea. Also even though it's gross raw garlic really helps! I put it in my hot tea donut gets a little soft and later chew it up to where I can swallow it with a drink. Also, drink those emergen c packets (ask your dr if it's ok ) or orange juice :) hope you feel better. I was just recently getting sick and I did this and I got better and only got a stuffy nose instead of getting worse
