I have a cold and a sore throat, but I am so thirsty right now. Am I still supposed to drink warm fluids?

Gargle with salt water, it tastes gross, but kills the bacteria in your throat.

Also yeah, warm fluids won't do you any harm, chicken noodle soup is the 'bread and butter' of cold remedies

This is good.

Drink more than you think you need .I just pound the shit out of water and apple juice. It's like the ammunition of your little spartan cells.

Liters of fluids a day.
Each day gets better : )

Hot lemon water can be nice
Just boil water and add some lemon juice.
Teas also good.
And ya, gargling salt water is amazingly effective if you can handle it.

What I do when this happens to me is squeeze 1-2 lemons, put the juice in a pot, add 1-2 cups of water and add some honey. Then heat it, doesn't have to boil, just so that it's hot. Works for me.

yeah, we call this honey lemon tea and it's fantastic when you have a cold. whoever suggested ginger tea above is on the right track too, though I sometimes feel it's a bit strong/harsh if I have a sore throat.

Hot fluids are great, but if you change your mind and feel like a colder beverage, try whisking ginger ale. It takes out the carbonation, so it's easy on your throat.
