Another wretched cold - this time a nasty sore throat. Discovered the merciful blessings of the anaesthetic throat spray. Also discovered that steaming my head quickly and reliably stops my fits of dry coughing. This time there's no gunk in my lungs, but I suspect the steam is dissolving eval shit clinging to my throat, which the uncontrollable coffs have been trying to remove. With or without a bit of Vick's Vaporub, sticking my head over a bowl of boiling water and a towel over my head does the trick. Hurrah!

Hot lemonade for throat colds. Boiling water, a splash of lemon juice, a dollop of honey.

I should add, in a mug all at once. Not one at a time in sequence.

Hope you feel better soon.

You can try ginger tea as well. It helps break up mucus and congestion. Good for tummy problems too, incidentally. Bring to boil 2C water, add 1 inch wedge of fresh ginger, peeled and either grated or thinly sliced. Cover and simmer about 20 mins. Strain it and add sweetener if desired.
