Viral URI: Yes you can do that or try one of several otc preparations. Discuss with your friendly pharmacist. Don't use antibiotics without a very good reason.

What to do.: Cold tips: for sore throat – gargle with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt in 8 oz of water). * for congestion – saline nose drops or a neti pot. *for anti-inflammatory effect ; mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup.**for hydration- lots of water. Try clear broth. * add honey ; a small amt. Of lemon juice to chamomile tea. Rest. Advil (ibuprofen) is fine ; so is robutusin.
