You sound terrible! Your posse gave you some great advice. You are a lucky woman to have such caring friends. Hot (very hot) tea with lemon and honey, Vick's on your chest,and, a nice comfy bed for a good night's sleep (at least 9 hours!). Oh, don't forget to take some aspirin and gargle with warm salt water. I truly hope you feel like your self very soon.

I hope that you feel better soon! A Trini remedy for the
cold I remember is to sap your head with coconut oil, rub
your chest with warm soft candle and drink orange peel tea,
bush tea or ginger tea. Get some rest, enjoy some nice soup
or some coconut water. I do wish for you to be well very soon.
Let me add this also ask someone in your family to
give you a massage it really helps.

You can also try Buckley's I think they have something
for sore throat. Go to the Doctor before that ear gets
worse! Take care.

Ah try this remedy a few times and believe meh, it does work. My mother mix some rum with a little honey and some pure lime juice. (It does taste real good too). But doh be tempted to drink too much or else yuh go get drunk. hehe. After that, gargle with some salt water. Trust meh, though....it works!

Sorry tuh hear yuh sick. Hope you get better sooon.
Some people say to drink dis ting dey call "ZA PAR PEEK" . me eh know if ah spell the thing correct.
Or yuh could try the puncheon rum, lime and salt mix together.
