Hi Tracy, sorry to hear you're not well. You're right, it can be hard to find things to make you feel better on low carb. But there are a lot of herbs like thyme, marhsmallow, poppy flower, elderberry flower and others you can make herbal tea with (you can mix them up and use 1 teaspoon per cup of boiling water). It would be great to sweeten with honey, but... so just use your usual swettener, or none at all. You can put a squeeze of lemon in there (vitamin c!) if you want. Also Vicks vaporub is great if you're feeling yucky, just put half a teaspoon in a small pot of water that has boiled and inhale the wapors for a while, really deeply (hold it in a little, then exhale). Or use the vaporub on your chest and throat. That's all I can think of of the top of my head. I'm sure other people will reply with other ideas! Hope you feel better soon!
