What can i drink or do to take care of a sore throat or cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore throat: You can try Advil/Motrin for the pain. Drink plenty of warm and cold fluids which can soothe the throat. Honey can coat the throat and might help the cough. If you feel a trio in the back of throat, then that might be causing the pain and you can try an over the counter antihistamine to help with that.
