Woah, take it easy. You don't want to extend your crappy feeling.

I like to drink hot tea (herbal) with honey and lemon. Honey is a natural expectorant, lemon an anti-viral agent, and the hot drink helps soothe the throat. I hear a little pinch of cinnamon does something good too, but I don't remember what that is.

But if your head starts to pound, lay down or take a cold pill.
