I have the sniffles and a scratchy throat.
I know it is the time of year for it, but it is still a bit uncomfortable. I am not that sick and dont feel like I need to go to the doctors just yet. I like to wait a week or two if possible to make sure it dosnt go away on its own. As you know a doctors office can be a bit expensive and I would feel real silly if they said it was just a cold, so I wait.
In the meantime, I like to make this concoction to make me feel better. There is no scientific evidence that it works, it just makes me feel a bit better. Maybe because it soothes my throat and opens my nasal passages.
