If you're congested, put 12 drops of the spiciest hot sauce you can get in a small cup of water and gargle it and swish it around like mouthwash.

You won't enjoy it, but you will be able to breathe.

Capsaicin is a great way to feel better overall. It provides a generic pain that brings no injury but enables your body to produce endorphins.
