home remedies for a cold?

I have the worst head cold...thanks to dh bringing it home to share with me and our toddler. I know a few basic non- medication involved remedies, steam from the shower, hot tea,humidifiers, these are relieving the symptoms.
Share your remedy, I don't want to use meds unless I am about to die.
Symptoms include, headache, congestion, runny/ stuffy nose, cough, fatigue and just feeling like I've been hit by a truck.

Chicken soup full of garlic powder, orange juice, and tons of water.

Squeeze a lime and drink the juice. Then, boil the peels for a few minutes and make tea. Don't boil too long or it will get bitter. Mix with a couple teaspoons of honey and drink warm. Get under the covers. Its yummy and it makes you feel better. guaranteed.

I have had 2 colds in the last 6 weeks so I feel your pain! I'm obsessed with my NettiPot! It works miracles...totally clears your head out. I did it a few times a day. If you have never used one give it a try it helps tremendously. Also, a humidifier with Vicks in it at night. The air is so dry being that it's winter and the heat is on all the time. These 2 things combined worked so well. Feel better soon!

Netipot definitely, and two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar works magic
