What's the best home remedy for runny nose and sore throat?

I've already had chicken noodle soup and it didn't help. I need a quick and effective way to cure me. Thanks a lot.
Answer:
Onion syrup (It actually tastes pretty good)Cut an onion into small pieces. Cover with honey (sugar works too, but the honey is more therapeutic and soothing to sore throats). Let it stand for about two hours (preferably covered). Take the syrup that results by the teaspoonful as often as required.

Nyquil's pretty good, also that theraflue stuff---dries you up and puts you to sleep

Keep eating chicken soup
Tea
Vitamin C--supplements or OJ, green leafy veggies, etc.
Echinasea--supplements, tea, etc.Vicks (any form will help the runny nose)
Vitamin C drops and Cough Drops for the sore throatIf it doesn't go away soon, you may need to see a doctor. My daughter just had strep throat--and needed to take antibiotics for 10 days.

Keep eating the chicken soup.
Gargle warm salt water to soothe your sore throat.
drink tea or warm water with honey and lemon. (if you're feeling achy and having trouble sleeping you can add a shot of whiskey or brandy to the tea)
drink a tea made from thyme, lemon (use the pulp and rind), and peppermint. it's an acquired taste, but it works.for your runny nose, you need a neti pot to flush your sinus cavity.
use warm (but not too warm) water with a little salt in it in the neti pot to flush your sinuses and reduce swelling in the nasal cavity. yes, you're pouring water up your nose and no, it's not as bad as it sounds (just don't use cold water.you'll get the feeling you get when you get water up your nose @ the pool)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/neti_pot...If your symptoms don't resolve in a few days, call your doctor, you may have something that needs to be treated with
antibiotics.
hope you feel better!
