Dear George:
If you think it is a cold I think that you are to the point that you have to let the cold take is course, keep warm, force fulids, lots of rest, chicken soup, (old jewish medicine) what would help me with a very bad sore throat, boil 1 cup of milk, add 1pat of butter (real) one heaping tablespoon of honey, mix well sip as hot as you can. The next time you feel a sore throat comming on, gargle with a food grade h2 o2 mix with water, don't know the % ask in the health food store where you buy it, take care.
