Yeah, the salt water gargling does work pretty well. I also end up drinking hot tea with honey in it. I don't know if it really works, but my Grandma swears by it and it tastes mighty good regardless.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Last resort, whiskey, lemon juice & honey... one shot and my throat was always cleared up. Gramma used to give me that until I finally had to have my tonsils removed.
Thanks, DF. I just took some zinc and checked ye olde liquor cabinet. The whiskey is on standby just in case I don't feel better by tonight.
One more thing. Nausea.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Peppermint tea.

I am telling you, it's all caused by snot, all of it. Clear that up and the other stuff goes away.
Trust me I get this OFTEN, I never go without Mucinex in my house.

Well, I'm definitely starting to feel the effects of my meds. So far I avoided the Dayquil and now I'm feeling sleepy. This is also evidenced by the fact that I almost burnt my house down trying to make tea, then burned my fingers.
I got nothing to add except to say I'm sorry you're sick. But I'm using your thread to pad my count.
I know you'd do the same, honey.

What do you think I'm using it for?
joining in the pad count.
So how did you almost burn your house down making tea?

Left the teapot on and wandered about. Went back upstairs because I smelled something burning, and stupidly reaced out to move it without covering my fingers. I actually burned the lil wrinkles off my fingers.
Have you checked under the couch?

If only! They were the wrinkles in between my fingers.

...Nothing's stopping you from heating up another pot, eh?
I'm feeling a cold coming on, so I've been using this stuff.
Might just be a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, but hey, if a placebo works, don't knock it.
I tried those once, but the aftertaste was so foul, I gave up. I would rather swallow a vitamin C and zinc pill than suck on one. Yucky.

I knew that the nasty aftertaste was the zinc. What I did not know was that it mattered whether you sucked on the zinc, or if you simply took a zinc supplement. I figured it accomplished the same thing.
I didn't mind it. It was mostly tasteless, only noticed the aftertaste when I drank a soda right after finishing one.

Likewise. The aftertaste is funky, though. Back when I used to live with a cold from September through May, somebody told me about those and I managed to get a brief respite from being sick now and again when I could stand to dissolve a bag of them in my mouth over the course of every week. The best way I found to avoid the aftertaste was to chase one with another one. Vicious cycle, ending in a daily tastebud crash.
Haggen Daz Lemon or Raspberry sorbet works well for that too.

Best thing I found for the zinc aftertaste is to quit being a pansy and deal.
