[ Alternative Medicine ] Open Question : tried and true natural remedies for a sore throat?

Have had a soare throat paired with chest and nasal congestion since the night before last. It is making it impossible to get any sleep between the pain and not being able to breathe. So far I have been using: Cepacol lozenges Sleepytime tea with lots of honey and lemon — this works well yet has only a temporary effect eating oranges for vitamin c a saline spray to clear my nose when it’s worst Neocitrin warming relief cold syrup — this seems to have no effect. white vinegar (have no ACV) with lemon in water soup Any other remedies you have actually tried that work really well? thank you!

[ Singing ] Open Question : How come I can’t sing in front of my parents?

I literally can’t sing as well when I’m with my parents, than to when I’m by myself or with my friends. It’s really annoying me. I don’t want to sound like a show off here, but I’m a really good singer and I sound fine when I’m around my friends and even when I’m around my enemies and teachers! When I sing in front of my parents, I start to sound off key and I can’t hit some notes. I know that it’s because of nerves that I sing bad in front of them, but why my PARENTS? BONUS QUESTION (Best Answer) = How can I gain confidence when I’m with my parents? (Singing in front of my friends doesn’t help…)
