<bot>: Many people get colds and sore throats, and there are some simple things you can do to help treat and prevent them. Good sleep, plenty of liquids, and throat lozenges can all help. As for treatment, you can use over the counter cough and cold medicines to help ease symptoms, or use medications and inhalers prescribed by your doctor. Avoiding colds is also important, so washing your hands regularly, covering your mouth and nose when coughing, and avoiding contact with sick people are all good preventative measures.
