No, although hot and sour soup feels wonderful in my throat and the
chili helps clear my nose.

I can make myself feel better temporarily, but there is nothing I
consider a kick start to being cured. Some people swear by Airborne,
my dad swore by a hot toddy (lemonade with a shot of something
alcoholic). Hubby drinks tea with lemon. My sore throats are usually
one of three things:
1. post nasal drip which is helped with a good decongestant.
2. a virus that settled in my throat - which nothing will help.
3. a bacterial infection, which antibiotics helps.

I do what I can do to relieve the pain and let time take care of the
rest.
