Meds for sore throat and cough can be effectively replaced with natural remedies that soothe and heal. Honey reduces throat irritation and fights bacteria with its antimicrobial properties. Warm broths or teas hydrate, thinning mucus for easier clearance. Salt water gargles decrease inflammation and flush pathogens. Rest bolsters immune responses, while zinc lozenges shorten symptom duration. Humidifiers maintain airway moisture, and vitamin C from berries supports immunity.
