Many things. : As Dr. Fowler mentioned, Vitamins C, D and Zinc might help, as well as rest and fluids. I advise up to 50,000 iu of Vit D3/day for 5 days, Vit C 1000 mg 4-6x/day, Zinc 30 mg 2x/day as well as Vitamin A 20,000 iu/day. Propolis throat spray is good in early stages as well as many herbs such as Andrographis. For more details please see https://tinyurl.com/y5e5mhw5
