I'm the opposite of Colonel Special... when I'm sick, I'll sleep for days, and only get up to move to the couch, go to the bathroom, or get more orange juice.
One of my favorite remedies, especially for sore throats, is pouring boiling, or near-boiling water over some lemon slices and letting them marinate for about five minutes or so. It doesn't taste wonderful, so I'll add sugar or honey to sweeten it a bit. Kind of a poor version of Theraflu, but I like it. Very soothing.
