Fighting a cold

[phobos]

So, today I've been feeling really drained, and the back of my throat has been feeling hot and gross (sorry, kinda icky thing to describe) which can only mean... cold

I've been sitting here guzzling water and apple juice like there's no tomorrow, but I really want to get better because tomorrow is my only day off, and I'd like to enjoy it a little bit! I also don't want to be sick at work all week.

Anyone know of any good cold medicines or remedies that can fix a sore throat?

I also find that I get the burps really bad when I have a cold, and seeing as I can't burp, it makes me feel very n*.

wish me luck!

My fiance swears by hot water with freshly squeezed lemon juice and some honey mixed in. I also think cutting back on mucus forming foods like dairy products and bananas can help when you have a cold.
