what is the best over the counter medicine for cold/sore throat?

Q: I have a cold. My throat is really sore, and I can barely speak. I’m taking day quil and nyquil. I also have a fever. What is the best over the counter medicine or whatever that I can take so this can go away faster.

A: Being I was a victim of strep throat all my childhood Ive got a reasonable take on this issue. Back then I found Cloraseptic to be at the top of their game with soothing sore throats. However, a cheaper fix than that which helps is heavy salt water you make yourself at home and gargle often. I mean 4 to 6 times a day.I out grew this issue thus I don’t know whats on the market now and its promised effects but Cloraseptic spray and those lozenges sure did the trick.as far as the hoarseness your experiencing that’s lack of fluids. Drink more water due to the throat being dehydrated. Look into the back of your throat and if you see any spotting on your tonsils or scapula get to the doctor pronto. Your heading for a whole body breakdown like a full blown flue.
