How To Get Relief From Sore Throat And Running Nose?
Hi, my wife has a sore throat (burning sensation) and running nose - she got it overnight itself, and is acute that she could not sleep. Tried gargles, vicks. I just gave her a citrazine but not sure what is the easiest remedy for now? She developed this after having a vodka shot, lemon, and pickle at a party yesterday.

I would suggest the following which will definitelty help in managing upper respiratory infection
1. Warm Saline Gargling: Add 2 spoons of salt to glass of lukewarm water and gargle 3-4 times a day
2. Continue giving Cetrizine
3. Decoction: 1 cup of milk+ 1 teaspoon turmeric+ 2 gm of ginger+ 10 leaves of tulsi+ 2 black pepper+ 2 spoon sugar, bring it to boil. Serve it hot to her, few sips at a time. To take it 4 times a day.
4. Steam inhalation for 15 minutes every session 4 times a day
