Haha, Barry White didn't work?!

Sore throat is a toughie for me, all other cold-ish symptoms I can take care of with homeopath.

If you're near a Chinese supermarket, get your hands on this:

Thick syrupy texture. It does have some artificial sugar in it, but the combination of the herbs does soothe the throat and even help with stopping coughing very well.

Hope you feel better soon!!
