How to get rid of a stuffy and runny nose, headache, and a sore throut?

Might need to run : it's course. For significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a strep throat test & culture. Antibiotics are imperative for Strep Throat. Try saltwater gargles. Mix tsp of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle w this several times/day. You can gargle w Aloe Vera juice a couple of times per day. A mix of chamomile tea w honey & a small amt of lemon juice helps. >

Time!: Viral infections such as the cold just take time to clear up. To help with the symptoms I would use medications as needed such as ibuprofen for pain, dayquil / nyquil for nasal symptoms and cough. Other remedies such as honey in hot tea, a room humidifier and nasal saline wash (spray or neti-pot) also help.
