Honey in tea works good to soothe a cough. ↑

You can take Delsym for the cough, or plain robitussin. You can take tylenol for body aches and sore throat. I like lemon tea with honey. Usually the fruity teas are decaf. Even hot water with lemon is good, but you can also use throat lozenges, like Chloraseptic, which have a numbing effect. Drink lots of fluids, chicken broth is good for you. Get as much rest as you can....It sucks when you're too sick to sleep and too sick to read or watch TV. Hope you're better soon! Oh, and you can take Sudafed for the runny nose! ↑
