I would:

Gargle with salt water and gse (alternating)
Neti pot flush daily
Up vitamin D to 10k/day for three days
Up vitamin C
Add zinc for three days
1-2 garlic cloves a day
Two tablespoons of ACV/day

After one week I would be healed! This works! I haven't been sick in years! Literally.

I'm really confused. My plan for dealing with a cold is: tissues. I'm generally done in just one week too.

I'm also confused as to how you have such a detailed plan, if you never get sick and use it. Does having the plan somehow prevent illness?

23:36 here - this is my plan at the first sign of any kind of virus and/or possible bacterial something since I don't know if it's a cold, the flu or strep. I go all out to prevent a full blown episode. I'm a divorced mom of three with an out-of-state ex, so I have zero time to be sick.

On a normal day I just take vitamin D and apple cider vinegar along with a healthy diet.

And even if it's just a cold, who wants to blow their nose raw for an entire week!

The sore throat is leaving me paranoid about strep, though realistically I think it's just raw from some post-nasal drip (sorry if that's tmi!). I'm hoping I'll feel better tomorrow.

Strep throat is not typically associated with cough or runny nose/post nasal drip. OP, you have a cold. Buck up, woman.

If it were me, I would go to the dr for a strep test. After reading about Jim Henson, I like to be careful about strep.

I had never in my life had strep before, and I got it last winter. I had a soreish throat, but just overall felt Bad. It came on over about 24 hours. I got a strep test at the drs, and the rapid test was negative. But somehow I was certain I had strep. The dr gave me antibiotics. The next day, I could not get out of bed, and I laid around all day and read books (kids were in school, and I stayed home from work). Then the next day, after having antibiotics all day, I felt well enough to go to work. And that morning, my dr called and said that Yes, I did have strep.
