What really works when you have a flu/cold?

I came down with a flu/cold. I have a sore throat as well.

I been drinking a lot of fluids - water and tea mostly - and been trying to get plenty of rest.

What else works?

A friend of mine told me to cut up a clove of garlic and swallow it with a glass of water. She swears it works. I tried it a bit earlier.

I do not believe in medicine unless I have a virus or something that requires it.

Thanks for your suggestions.

i use fresh basil in my chicken broth.
