How to get rid of cold and flu cough sore throat home remedies!

A week ago I was having bad cold symptoms: cough, congestion, runny nose. Headache, I couldn't fall asleep. A friend told me to make this drink: Cayenne pepper, squeezed lemon juice, Ginger, Garlic and honey... and it will help me feel better. I tried it and it did!
I made this drink three times a day for three days. And I got better fast. I believe in all natural treatments for cold and flu. I shy away from any medications if possible. You should too.
I hope y'all can try this and enjoy it! Feel better soon!
