Cold Remedies

I'm smothering.

Drinking Rubex effervescent.

What remedies do you use when you have a cold?

R-KEANE

uniflu plus. the only treatment that got rid of my heavy cold in half an hour. hasnt worked since though. but thats because there are millions of variations of the virus.

Kiera

Usually lots of freshly squeezed orange juice and some olbas oil on your pillow at night.

My mam swears by the good aul chicken soup.

Hope you’re feeling better soon x x

I use nurofen cold and flu and drink loads of fluids. I generally don't drink anything with Vitamin C around this time because its too acidic and I end up with a kidney infection aswell.

Stay in bed, drink lemsip and enjoy the time off.

Time off? Can't. Just started my new job 2 weeks ago. Good impression and all that...

Lots of fluids, lots of paracetamol, a hot water bottle for the feet, a hot whiskey and off to bed early. Maybe some nose spray to stop the sniffling.
Worked for me, anyway...

Uniflu and stay in bed!

Hope you feel better soon...

Yeah, I used Uniflu before, and had good results. But the second time I tried it, no joy.

Stench Blossoms

Maybe try uniflu plus then?

Nettle soup

My head hoyts, and my boidy aches all ovah

Thumbs up for Uniflu + those glass litre-bottles of orange juice from Lidl

Diarmiud

Sandwich with mustard warms me up.

Rb

A hot whiskey with sugar and lemon before bed usually does the job for me.

Ruu_Old

Lots of hot drinks and a hot water bottle ftw

Archeron

Lemsip and whiskey mixture always works for me. (dont know if its 100% safe, but it works)

Me too, especially if the sandwich is loaded with a triple helping of Kerry Fox mustard.

If you HAVE to go to work the Lemsip tablets usually keep me alive when there just aint no time to stay in bed! Dosed up on them meself at the moment, everyone seems to be sick lately!

I will actually pay you to do this.
Scratch that, I'll buy the vodka and bring the camera.

On topic; I always found those Solpa-Flu tablets to work quite well. That or just stay in bed for 12/24 hours. Literally, just stay in bed. Worked for me.

Aporia

Best cold flu remedy.

Buy a carton of orange juice
Put it in your fridge and wait till it's freezing cold
Then drink it all with three vitamin C tablets

Then take a shower and clean everything around you.
Then sleep sleep sleep Seriously sleep is the best cure but make sure your warm at all times with fresh air in the room too.

This makes you feel better when having a cold anyway.

I've a cold since Saturday. I slept most of the weekend and i thought it was gone yesterday but today my throat is even worse.

The uniflu is not working this time.
