Cold cures anyone?

Try hot orange with soluble asprin in it!!! works a treat asprin contains anti-inflammatory so it will take down any swollen glands or inflamed throats!!
Also zinc boosts your immune system, you can buy zinc tablets in your local supermarket!!!

Lemsip powders only have the same paracetamol as 1 tablet so any hot drink with 2 paracetamol is going to be better. Hot Ribena is a very good suggestion as it's the combination of steam to clear the nose, vitamin C to boost immune system and warmth to...warm you up

Ecinacea, Zinc and Vit C can all be taken as suppliments to ease colds but by the time your cold is well underway they may not be much use. They should really be used as a preventative measure.

Is there anyone who could have your little one for a while while you get some sleep?

Oh and open the window while you sleep if you've got central heating. The central heating dries out the mucus in your nose which makes it all...sticky :-/

Many thanks for all the suggestions - the combination of the whisky and lemon concoction in the evening followed by night nurse tablets just as I got into bed, knocked me out all night long and I slept from 10pm until 8am. Maybe shouldn't have mixed the 2, but desperate (and I went easy on the whisky).

Still feel pants but can cope now I've had some sleep.

Just about to have some hot lemon and honey and paracetamol. Haven't got any ribena but really I could be drinking anything as got no taste buds working at the moment!

i dont have a cure but breathing in menthol crystals in hot water helps.I try to avoid getting colds ,you know the day before you get one and you have a hunch theres one on the way, have an aconite (homeopathic) tablet when you notice, and one before bed, it's amazing no cold in the morning!
