Cough and sore throat

Julie

Hi ladies. I’ve caught a bug off my little one and have thee shortest throat and cough. It started yesterday morning and is still getting worse. Doc said paracetamol only. I’ve caved and taken some throat soothers and tried warm honey in hot drink. Nothing is helping. Anyone got any home remedies that don’t consist of Medicine that have worked?

P.s my wee one has Croup. Hoping I’ve not caught something similar
