Is there anything you can take?

I woke up this morning with a really sore throat. Is there anything I can take to help prevent any type of cold and help my throat heal? There's been stuff going around apparently and DH doesn't feel well either.

When I was younger I was always told to gargle with hot salty water when I had a sore throat. It used to help though it wasn't particularly nice xxxx

Lemon and honey in hot water.
Paracetamol.

I asked this question a few weeks ago when I had a dreadful sore throat, both my go and the chemist said it was ok to have lockets but not strepsils x

Ditto gargling with salt water!
Swallowing honey can help too.
You can buy zinc lozenges that can help as well.

What previous posts have said plus drink plenty of hot liquids like tea with honey or hot cider. Also get plenty of vitaminC to ward off colds. My doc told me to keep my throat and nose moist with hot drinks and nose spray to help with congestion.

I take a small bit of powdered vitamin C mixed in water and drink hot tea with lemon and honey.
