“Though nothing cures a cold, some home remedies do help: hot drinks, especially chicken soup, can increase the flow of nasal secretions. Tea with honey temporarily relieves a sore throat. Saltwater gargles (a quarter teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces warm water) are also helpful, as are homemade saline nosedrops (same formula as the gargle).”
