I have a cold...? (help?)?

I feel really crappy at the moment, with a sore throat, headache, and slight fever. The sore throat makes it so I can barely swallow without being in a lot of pain. I'm also congested.

At the moment, I'm drinking warmed up water and lemon juice, since a few people have told me that helps.

Does anybody else have any suggestions to make myself feel better?

Lemon is the most important among the many home remedies for common cold. It is beneficial in all types of cold with fever. Vitamin C-rich lemon juice increases body resistance, decreases toxicity and reduces the duration of the illness. One lemon should be diluted in a glass of warm water, and a teaspoon of honey should be added to it. This should be taken once or twice daily.

Ginger is another excellent remedy for colds and coughs. About ten grams of ginger should be cut into small pieces and boiled in a cup of water. It should then be strained and half a teaspoon of sugar added to it. This decoction should be drunk when hot. Ginger tea, prepared by adding a few pieces of ginger into boiled water before adding the tea leaves, is also an effective remedy for colds and for fevers resulting from cold. It may be taken twice daily.
