Flu in the air..

This is an awful experience trying to flight a bad flu. I've got the whole package! From block nose to sore throat. No fever (which is a good thing) However it's been a few days with sleepless nights. The worst is the pain in my throat. Sometimes I wake up because every time i swallow my throat hurts! With more rest and fluids, I'm learning to fight it the healthy way.
One interesting remedy I learn is to put a dash of salt in an orange. First slice the top of the orange, then put a dash of salt into the orange, steam the orange for 20 minutes. Then scoop the orange with a tea spoon and eat! It doesn't taste too bad, it's sweet and salty. But it helps to reduce the soar throat.
