Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.I think I may be able to help you.

The fact remains that the lime juice, as per the conventional wisdom, will only cause soar throat. Therefore, I think it would be good to avoid the juice.

However, in my experience, if you want to have the juice, it will only help you. The immunity boosters in the juice will work with you.

Then, is the conventional knowledge inaccurate? Not so.

The best way to get relief is by getting yourself some gargles after the juice.
It will keep your throat clear.

For cold, I always suggest that you have
1. Gargles
2. Steam inhalation.
3. Antibiotics if needed
4. Paracetamol, if needed
5. A course of multi vitamins

I have tried to make the answer as simple as possible.
I hope that the information helps you to know about the symptoms.
Best of luck.
Dr Mittal.
