How to treat symptoms of the common cold.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • tea
  • lemons
  • whiskey
  • honey
  1. Step 1

    This is something my grandmother would make for her and my grandfather she called it a "hot tottie". I think its works like Theraflu sweating the cold out. First you get a lemon, some pure honey and 1/2 shot of whiskey. add this to a plain cup of hot tea.

  2. Step 2

    Drink before bed or when you are just relaxing. With a cold you have to treat the symptoms. If your coughing suck cough drops to prevent a sore throat. Its important to get the appropriate kind of cold medicine.

  3. Step 3

    Wear heavy clothes to promote heavier sweating. Running the shower or bath on hot is a good way to open up congested areas.
