I had a recipe for cough / cold that was Cider Vinegar, Honey, Cayenne Pepper, & drred mustard diluted with a little water. Cider Vinegar has a lot of health benefits, honey is a natural antibiotic, Cayenne has analgesic properties and will help clear congestion, and mustard also helps with congestion. In my opinion, it tastes much better that cough medicine! You can google natural cough medicine and find various recipes.
Get well soon Miles! The flu is no fun.
Oh, the ONLY drawback to flu shots in my opinion, is that they often put mercury in the vaccine. That's evil stuff! You can, however, request vaccine without Thimerosal.
