Holistic / home remedies for colds?

I have a cold. I do not like to take man made meds. I will if I have no other choice, but I prefer natural remedies. I have a headache, stuffy head, bad cough and a bit of a sore throat.

I am looking for any home remedies, preferable natural remedies, that anyone else swears by. My grandmother uses apple cider vinegar, so I’m looking for things like that.

Does anyone have any good, sure fire, suggestions to kick this cold so I can get back to the gym and not make everyone else sick?

Thanks a lot!

Sore throat with white patches on the face. Uninsured. Will this go away on their own time?

I had a slight mild sore throat for 2 days now. This morning I looked in the mirror in the back of the throat and noticed one side are small white spots. I've never had a sore throat, but before someone at work said it was likely. In my doctor's office is closed during the long weekend and I can not pay $ 300 to go to the emergency room. I have no insurance for that, and I hope that maybe could solve alone, if I am right after work, Today, taking my vitamins and drink plenty of fluids. ? Thoughts? What do you think is and is something I can only take care of myself without being seen? Suggestions? Any global measure that can take, thanks, like grape seed extract, or what?.

Your pharacist should be able to identify whether it is strep throat. If it is, and advises him to seek a prescription for antibiotics, anti-I suggest you find the money. If you have no immune system attacks the battery, and then begins to attack the heart valves and rheumatic heart leaves him. If you want to try other methods to go. They can be effective, but I did chance. In such circumstances, I think the occasional use antibiotics to kill the infection and then stop taking the medication is appropriate.
