Question

Are there any home remedies for a sore throat, cough, chills, and fever?

Answer 1

zinc lozenges, aspirin, hot bath, chicken soup and rest. having a beer or glass of wine helps too, or at least the symptoms won't bother you as much.

Answer 2

Rest a lot and drink plenty of liquids, not alcohol though!

Answer 3

are you looking for natural remedies or medicinal?. . anyway, try ZICAM nasal gel. it is over the counter, natural and works fast! it cut my illness down to only three days from the usual 3 weeks i owuld have been sick.. . you can also try inhaling steam that has a few drops of the following essential oils: tea trea, eucalyptus and peppermint. these will help to clear up the cough and kill the germs in your throat, nose and lungs without harming any other body parts.. . also drink lots of non-alcoholic fluids. i would stay away from dairy as that thickens the mucous secretions and will make you cough/gag/clear yopur throat more. try hot tea and honey. sleep as much as you can.

Answer 4

I use warm salt water and some warm lemonade

Answer 5

Warm Milk and Honey

Answer 6

A good strong whiskey toddy...hot, lots of lemon and honey. Of course, if you've been taking lots of medicines, probably not the best solution. . . Those Vicks inhalers work really well, and fast. They look like a little tube of chapstick, and I found mine by the cough drops at the store. They clear up congestion like a charm.

Answer 7

This is my own recipe. Careful if you have a weak stomach! -Hot water. -add liquorice root . -finely chopped garlic. -peppercorns. -squirt of lemon. -a spoon of honey. Mix it all together, drink and it really should help.. Also, 250mg Vitamin C four times a day.

Answer 8

Well when I have a sore throat I would gargle warm salt water in my mouth to help kill germs ...not too long after my sore throat went away

Answer 9

plenty of water, plenty of rest, soup, fruits with vitamin C( orange, lemon,...). . Wish you will be better soon

Answer 10

eat a pickle, it'll help with the sore throat and coughs. My opa was big on pickles for everything...have a baby teething, give it a pickle, cold, eat a pickle (kinda like the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding) but it does work...eat a big juicy dill pickle lol
