Recent research suggests that such time-honored remedies as a cup of lemon tea or a bowl of chicken or onion soup may be safer and more effective than many of today’s OTC cold medications. These hot beverages, it has been discovered, raise the throat temperature thereby inhibiting viral replication. Furthermore, acid drinks, such as lemon tea or tomato juice, create an acid environment in which the virus cannot exist.

Anyone with a cold or flu should try to drink eight to ten glasses of non-alcoholic liquid during the course of each day. Fluid replacement is especially important during fever when significant loss of body fluids can occur. Among the best drinks are warm, bland soups including onion soup and miso broth, both fruit and vegetable juices— including unsweetened orange, grapefruit, apple or grape juice and also carrot and tomato juice—and carob drinks and teas. Although they contain caffeine, an occasional cup of black or green tea can contribute to the patient’s feeling of wellbeing. Try to drink at least half a glass of water or other liquid every half hour.
