So I got a little bit of a head cold where my nose has been very stuffy and I've had a lot of mucus, but mucus started to make it's way into my throat and now is feeling slightly sore and is giving me a little bit of a cough, I'm eating honey to not make it worse but what could I use to help the soreness go away or prevent it from becoming more of a cold?
