I know you have been sick for quite a while now. I hope you feel better soon. My dad used to drink hot toddy, I hope I spelled that right. It is a drink that has some hard drink mix and honey in it. It helped him. I have tried it before and it didn't help me at all.
Do you have a vaporiser? That could help to unblock your sinuses and relieve your stuffy nose. Allergu medication is also good to dry up a runny nose. I like to use Vicks Vapor Rub when I feel all clogged and stuffed up.

How about a nice warm bath? That may help to break up some of the congestion. the heat of the water may help you break your cold symptoms. It is worth a try. I hope you feel better soon. I hate it that you are not feeling good. I'm sorry about your money situation too. I wish I could help but it is tight here also. I know I can only help you by the giving you other ways to earn from. I know it will help. I also know that if you don't feel good, nothing helps.
Get Well soon.
Your friend,
Steph

do you think that lime and honey would help? That is what I am using now.

I don't know about home remedies, I usually take a cold pill that makes me sleep. When I just have chest congestion, Walker makes me a cup of burbon with honey mixed in it, and that clears me up right away.
