[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 374973, member: 1963"] Hot water or tea with honey and lemon dissolved in can be very helpful. As Marg says, you want natural raw honey, not the pasteurized stuff. Homemade chicken soup with raw garlic, ginger, and hot peppers cooked in is VERY helpful for colds and other URIs. The chicken soup itself is antibacterial and thins mucus. The added seasonings increase thinning and antibacterial effects. They will make you sweat if you make it properly and use enough ginger and hot pepper. Not sure how far along you are, but chili pepper can be a bit irritating to the bladder. So be aware of that if you are far enough along that you are already running to the bathroom. FORCE fluids, again: thins the mucus and works as an expectorant as does the soup. [/QUOTE]
