Hot tea and honey, hot tea and whiskey, there's a whole line of hot herbal teas made for helping cold and flu symptoms. Google up the Traditional Medicinals tea brand and see if any local stores carry em. They'd be in the organic area.
I've always found that limones (those little key limes) seem to work better than just lemons, and they have to be fresh squeezed. Bottled lemon or lime juice has no effect. Just use them to make hot lemonade, spiked with things from the spice rack like cloves, cinnamon, allspice.
Hot peppermint tea, a shot of whisky, a little honey. Hold it under your chin and inhale the vapors between sips. Works wonders to break up congestion and clear the sinuses.
my grandmother used to put one together that was hot tea , honey , lemon and whiskey and then she would wrap us up in a heavy blanket and boy did we sweat but we were well within a day or two . my aunt used to say well that is because you sweat all the poison and bad germs out !!! I dont care what you say there is something to country medicine as we used to call it ..
Hot water with honey, lemon, fresh ginger root and a little cayenne pepper, let it all steep and drink up. Worked for the nasty cold I caught last month.

My mother liked to use lemon juice and my mother-in-law, whiskey in tea--didn't think to combine both Great idea--thanks. There's something to the sweating--hence, the popularity of saunas and steam baths among certain cultures.

Will try this combo next time but minus the cayenne, please. Thanks!
Before bed, try this: mix boiling water half and half with Blackberry brandy...add a twist of lemon or a bit of lemon juice if you wish. Breathe in the fumes as you drink. Nighty night.
