I have this nagging cold that just won't go away. I think it's on its way out and the next day I wake up with different symptoms. Recently it's turned into a sore throat, bumps on the back of a swollen tongue, painful and irritating. Had a Dr. appt last week and its nothing serious, but I can't get rid if it and don't want antibiotics. Have been drinking garlic/lemon tea, rinsing with salt water, does anyone have any safe home remedies to try??
