Answer

I have an almost 3 week old and I'm in the same boat. Everyone here is sick lol mama included. I've been taking Advil for my sore throat, gargling with warm salt water, drinking a gnarly, but immediately effective drink of - 2tbs honey, 2tbs apple cider vinegar, the juice of a lemon, and a bit of warm water- first thing in the morning or when my throat is especially sore. Also trying to drink lots of water (which is easy because breastfeeding = always thirsty) and I'm also trying to eat really well and eat lots of vitamin c. I've read that most throat sprays and cough drops are safe, but I prefer the homeopathic route. Best of luck and hope you're feeling better soon
