Question
I'm curious about what's going on with my throat. I noticed it started feeling sore after I drank some cold water yesterday. Is that a common reason for a sore throat? And do you have any suggestions on what medicine I should take to help it feel better?

Here are some home remedies to help alleviate nasal congestion and breathing difficulties: 1. Steam Inhalation: Inhale steam from boiling water or a humidifier to loosen mucus. 2. Nasal Saline Rinse: Use a neti pot or squeeze bottle with saline solution to clear nasal passages. 3. Honey and Lemon: Mix equal parts honey and lemon juice in warm water to soothe the throat and ease congestion. 4. Eucalyptus Oil: Add a few drops to your diffuser or inhale directly from a cloth or tissue. 5. Warm Compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to your face to loosen mucus. 6. Drink Plenty of Fluids: Stay hydrated to thin out mucus and promote drainage. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
