Can't cure faster: Tips: sore throat – gargle with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt in 8 oz of water). Congestion – saline nose drops or netti pot. For anti-inflammatory effect & mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup. Hydration- lots of water/clear broth. Fever/ pain – acetaminophen/ nsaid’s add honey & a small amt. Of lemon juice to chamomile tea. Rest! get strep test/culture - see if you need antibiotics.
