how to treat a cough and/or sore throat

my throat has felt a little bad for about 2 weeks, constant weed smoking hasnt helped... but i have some tips that have helped

drink lots of herbal teas, for example

licorice root & ginger

fresh mint (dried is ok too but not as good)

eat honey with these, i usually have it separately on a spoon, honey is "live food" and it "dies" if you put it in hot water. (well crappy cheap filtered honey probably isnt, use quality stuff)

flush your nose if it's clogged up . Your throat will be less stressed as you can breath easier through your nose

drink herbal tincture, like jägermeister? i also made my own licorice booze. i smashed up some licorice root and put them in a 0,375l Periine Viina bottle
(about 1cl at a time should be enough ;) really opens up your breathing

get some eucalyptus essential oil, put in hot water and breathe the steam deeeeeply. you can also gurgle your throat with it once it has cooled a little. i got mine real cheap from the local Estonian food&goods store.

eat lots of fruit and berries! and get some fresh air!

hopefully this helps someone... im starting to feel better atleast =)
