Any cold remedy ideas?

The coughing has started.  With the resulting sore throat.  I can deal with not breathing through my nose and blowing it all the time and the diminished taste capacity.  I cannot deal with the coughing,  headache and sore throat all at once.  I took some Robitussin DM last night so I didn't wake DS with the coughing all night, but I am scaring the living daylights out of him today with it.  Obviously I need super safe ideas.

    crush a clove of garlic and let it stew in a cup of boiling water for about 10 minutes.  drink, chew up and swallow garlic.  you can add lemon if you want to... but it should definitely help no matter how unappealing it may sound :)

    Haha!  I love garlic.  I eat it raw (a couple cloves) whenever I'm cooking with it.

    Also, hot water, ground ginger, lemon and honey helps (go easy on the ginger), but it should soothe your throat.
