Well, it's my first bad cold in nearly three (or maybe four -- hard to keep track) years so I really can't complain TOO much. I'm drinking hot water and lemon and whispering along to my CDs. :)
it's one of those things that just kind of makes you feel more human after you drink it. I always get very slightly queasy when I have a cold or nasty sore throat, and the ginger really helps with that.
You left out the "sleep with cats curled up round you" part of the treatment. I tend to sleep off colds, and the cats always come and sleep in unison with me.

Scotch and Atobe sounds divine. I hope he won't mind all my phlegm.

Raw honey in water not above 60C (or just eat it on its own) might help itchy throat. For blocked nose, breathe in steam from a hot drink/soup.
And no, we have no cure for the cold, sadly. Have plenty of rest and get well soon :)

I have some hot water to drink, so that will be soothing. :)
