It’s that time of year when kids may come home with a cough or a sniffle and the weather doesn’t really help the condition. Cold and flu season peaks in the winter, but it can begin to circulate as early as October, according to Vaccinate Your Family

To combat that, you may be taking precautions, such as getting your annual flu shot, taking the necessary medications to help your symptoms from progressing, or maybe you have switched from coffee to tea. 

One of the most common symptoms you may experience is a sore throat, and if you’re like most people in Western New York, you may still be headed to Tim Hortons for your dose of caffeine. However, those with a sore throat may want to steer clear of coffee since the acidity can irritate your throat rather than help it. Teas, on the other hand, can help soothe your throat with “potential anti-inflammatory properties,” according to MedicalNewsToday.  

Thankfully, there are some teas and drinks you can order from Tim Hortons that will help soothe your throat during the cold & flu season!

We took a poll on Facebook, and here’s some of the responses we got.
