Home remedy or store bought, what works for you best? I'm suffering here. Worst of all, I would usually gargle with salt and warm water (it's yucky but it works) - but ever since I had my tonsils out a couple of years ago I can't gargle! It's so weird!!

Thanks for your help fellow bumpies.

I've been sick since Saturday. I finally went to the doctors yesterday to find out that i have bronchitis. I'm deciding to stay away from any medications as long as possible and I am def. suffering through it.

I would suggest hot tea with honey. That's what I'm doing. I literally am still drinking it and it's really helped a lot. Dr. said Robitussin DM is safe if your interested in some OTC relief.

HOpe you feel better soon!

Neti pot with distilled water to clear the head congestion. Was going to recommend gargling with salt water for sore throat, but since you can't do that, how about a throat losenge.
