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.

Hot milk with honey always helps my throat, and it tastes decent to boot. Or tea with honey, but milk is better.

The only thing Coke is good for is cleaning out blood stains.

don't forget to pop vitamin c like it's candy. as soon as i feel a cold/sore throat coming on, i just pop 500mg every 4-6 hours and 1000mg before i go to sleep. also, if you start taking it after you get sick, it'll still shorten your sickness by quite a bit. i always keep a bottle on my desk.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

I had a swollen tonsil few weeks back, it was fucking hell. I couldn't swallow anything without having to feel massive pain in my throat. However, hot/warm drinks were very soothing. Gargling salt water seemed to help but I think you have to do it numerous times throughout the day for it to be effective.

I used to have a sore throat a lot during the winter, so I ended up carrying around a big thermos full of lemon tea.

Tasted delicious and I felt better too

You probabyl won't try this, but I've done it and it works

If you have a ore throat caused by a bacterial infection (strep, tonsilitis, etc) you can kill the bacteria by letting garlic juice run down the back of your throat.

It doesn't make the other symptoms go away, but the sore throat gets a lot better!

put quite a bit in, it needs to be fairly saturated to do anything. do not swallow, kus that much salt isnt good for you.

Hydrating is a good idea. No real upper limit, just make sure you're getting the salts and other shit you're pissing away back with whatever you're drinking.
