Good medicine for sore thought and bad cough...?

Question: I've had a bad cold for about 5 days; I've gone though like, five stages of different kinds of symptoms each day. The past couple of days I've had a bad cough and sore though, any suggestions for cough medicine or cough drops, etc...

Answers:
If you don't have a fever, you do NOT need to see a doctor or take antibiotics. If your sore throat gets worse AND/OR is accompanied by a fever, then you need a strep test, but without a fever just hot water and honey+lemon should soothe your throat also GREAT are salt water gargles (2 or 3 times a day) till sore throat is gone.
