Hi: Can someone please advice me. I caught a nasty cold from a co-worker. I have been having a terrible sore throat for the past two days. I stayed away from sucking on the Halls drops like I used to do because of the nasty sugar and corn syrup. But I am slowly weakening.

Is there another kind of Cough Drop I can use? I live in Vancouver.

I have been drinking some salted water...(suppose to be an old family remedy but it just makes me want to throw up as soon as I drink it)

Thanks
