Answers:

My grandfathers home remedy was to gargle with warm salt water. The salt is a natural healing agent in the mouth and throat.

Put about a table spoon of salt to a half cup of warm water. mix until dissolved. ( if the salt doesn't dissolve the water isn't warm enough). Then just like using mouth wash sip some and let it go to the back of your throat and gargle it for about 30 seconds. Spit and repeat 2 times. Do this several times a day. You can also take a plain tylenol to help with the pain.

I suggest some vitamin C to help you completely heal from this cold.

For your nose...it's your sinuses. Try this: At the bottom of your nose where it meets your face ( the side above your nostril) with one finger press in and up as hard as you can. This will hurt. Hold or 30 seconds. Repeat on the other side. This helps to unblock the sinus and let it drain.

Best wishes and I hope you feel better!

Well, when you sniff, the snot goes to your throat somehow so its probably because of that.
So, when you cough, does it make like a rusty sound? if it does, straight after you cough...i dont know how to say this ,...kind of like when you guggle, do that and you will probably feel something kinda like snot in your throat and when it comes to your mouth spit it out. if when you spit out it is clear, then its ok, if its yellow that means your heaty and if its green it means you are very heaty.
The same with when you blow your nose, look at what colour it is.
Foods to get rid of heatyness: Watermelon, Papaya, Herbal Tea
Foods that create heatyness: Chocolate, fried stuff, most snacks, mango, lychees.
This all sound pretty gross! Anyway, good luck.
