1. Oil of Oregano,
From the Healthfood store...Sometimes a large dose of Garlic will do.( I've made sandwiches with it) Also, I use a supplement called Wellness. It has a lot of goodies to help squash what's ailing you. Immediately take 1000 grams of Vit C. Also, a sea salt gargle couldn't hurt. Get well soon!

3. yes on the salt water gargle
Warm salt water. Every few hours.

Also, drink plenty of fresh water. It wouldn't hurt to take something with Vitamin C and echinacea, either. EmergenCee or whatever that stuff is. I use Airborne at the first hint of trouble and never catch anything. YMMV.

Rest. Stay warm and dry.
