11.Menthol Ointment
Days of stuffy nose and congestion can leave you feeling miserable. A simple remedy may be to dab a menthol-infused ointment under (but not in) your nose, or on your chest or throat. The menthol vapors may help relieve a cough and open clogged passages, which may help with congestion. But don’t use it on raw skin and don’t give it to children under age 2.

12.Saltwater Gargle
This may help your sore throat by decreasing throat swelling and rinsing out irritants and germs. Gargle 8 ounces of warm water with about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt four times daily to keep a scratchy throat moist.
