My throat is itching and I am frequently sneezing. Looks like I will have cough and colds soon. The weather again is so drastic. It was hot then it will rain, then the sun will shine and thunderstorm again. Would you believe that happen in just a day? In addition to that, I don't get to have enough rest. We have two consecutive long weekends but don't give me enough rest. We went home on the first long weekend then this last weekend my son won't allow me to rest. He just want to follow me everywhere and when I will close my eyes, he will go over me and do the horseback ride. LOL. So now, I am harvesting all the fruits of not having enough rest. I am drinking a lot of water but I don't want to take any medicine yet. Can you suggest natural remedies to itchy throat? I am just thankful that it's a holiday tomorrow here in our province. I hope I can take a rest tomorrow.

Ahh.. It is exactly same in here too - we called the season as Pancaroba . Where the weather would exchange drastically . All I know about cough - flu is both of them mainly caused by our immune system has been going down . And after reading what you've been through (You have been dealing with you awsome sone, rite? lol ) - it must be so tiring . All you need is take some vit C to boost your immune system by eating Kiwi fruits or some Orange juices , then don't be late to have some foods and drink water . Take some rests - I usually sleep all day long when I feel bit sick - to recover my energy :) btw, actually we have some traditional natural remedies in here for itchy throat : 1. drink the boiled ginger water 2. take a spoon of squeezed lime + a couple drop of sweet soya sauce Both of them have been traditional natural remedies for long time in my contry ;) I hope this would help you :)

Wow, that is a very helpful tips. Tomorrow is a holiday here so I hope I can take a rest. My son is always behind or beside me so I might lock in our bedroom that is if I can stand him calling mommy. Thanks for the response.

He is 2 years old. He has a nanny though when he knows I am home he will always stick with me. When I am in our bedroom he will keep on screaming mommy until I go out. I pity him screaming and like begging for me to come out. What really is so cute is when he saw he will scream "there you are mommy!", with a very happy and excited face.

I found this and tried it on a head cold. In 1 minute my head was clear. It wasn't a very bad cold but my head was just starting to feel stuffy. If I didn't see it for myself I would never believe it. This site also has natural remedies for many ailments. www.earthclinic.com/CURES/colds4.html#HYDROGENPEROXIDEINEARS_20515 Hope you find something that helps.

You can avoid this by eating more vegetables,fruits and lots of water.Our body needs more water than we ever imagine.It could unclog your nostrils with those annoying colds also makes your coughing more easily going.Try it and you could just say I tell you the truth.No more medicines needed.

Good eating habits is no match to taking of synthetic vitamins.Although it is the only alternative when not eating the right foods.You could become more stronger when you keep on eating many fruits because you did not know that it could eradicate so many cancer causing radicals from the foods we have taken,especially the consuming of red meats and other meat products that have high cholesterol levels.The most important part is drinking lots of water to flush out all impurities in our systems so that smooth and rapid cleaning of our body system could be done properly.

First thing you have to do when you feel like having cough and colds is prevent it. Like they say, prevention is better than cure. Drink calamansi juice or citrus fruits and take vitamins. If you feel it coming, drink medicine to prevent not to make it even worse.

I have glasses of pineapple juice yesterday and I somewhat feel better but still I am sneezing a lot today. Maybe that's a sign that I am releasing the viruses inside my system. Lol. Thanks for the response.

I had the same situation 4 years ago. I was walking under the rain twice and i started to sneeze a lot. I took aspirin in the morning and in the evening... then I ate many lemons with honey for my throat. I feel really good now! If you have somebody who can hel you with your son ask him/her to play with him a bit while you rest, try to fell asleep, it will help your body to rest! Take a rest! Be healthy!

You should do something about that right away. Right now, I'm already suffering from cough and colds and some body aches. Throughout the weekend, I had the symptoms and it just got worse when I got back to work yesterday. So today, I had to take the day off to rest and keep myself warm especially since it's been raining and cold here at our place. The weather hasn't helped my cough and colds at all. I hope you won't get sick soon so drink lots of fluids. I drink warm to lukewarm water to help my throat and lots of bed rest has really helped with my colds. And also, avoid sweets and food that are pretty strong with the flavor 'cause they might worsen your itchy throat. Soup is also good.

I almost have colds now but my throat is not that itchy. I drink pure pineapple juice yesterday and have a little rest. Thank you for the tips and hope we get well soon.

Well that usually happens when weather always changed, from heat to cold and from rain to shine. Maybe calamansi or lemon juice with honey could help and always drink a lot of water.
