Any home remedies for a runny nose and itchy throat?

i don't know what to do for a runny nose. for a sore throat i always drink hot tea with a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey. i also eat chicken soup or drink chicken broth. the heat surprisingly soothes the soreness or itchiness of your throat. i also use Claritin for my allergies. my fiance uses Zyrtec. you can get both over the counter at the pharmacy.

Every time i have an itchy throat my mom always give me ginger juice to soothe my throat. You can buy it in any groceries in its powder form.

I'd recommend you what my mother always tells me to drink when I am sick. Hot water with lemon and some honey. Even if doesn't completely heals you, it really helps to relieve the pain of the itchy throat. Well, at least it does when I am sick and I drink it =).
