Any cold remedies :/

So last night out of no where I noticed my throat was sore , I woke up to three feeling worse , I finally was able to get some rest around 7 this morning . Only for two hours , and I'm still wide awake . I feel like crud . I really am trying to avoid going to the doctor ! So if you ladies know any natural remidies to cure a cold , I'd appreciate it ! I prefer everything natural I hate taking meds ?
