Sparky Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Picked up a cold which appears to have gone to my chest rather quickly. Throat hurts when I cough but not when I swallow or eat etc. I hate them! I'm currently OD'ing on Lemsip Max Strength pills, and Benelyn. Is there anything else I can do to ensure I get it shifted quickly? I got it on Friday and have taken off today, although I can't really afford any time off work. Any tips?

m4ttm4son Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Have a strong curry for dinner, put on some pyjamas/ tracksuit when you go to bed and sweat it out. Makes sure you drink plenty of water. You may not have a great night's sleep, but as long as you stay hot overnight, you should feel better after your shower in the morning.

allen Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 i picked up flu yeterday, can hardly walk, not eaten for 2 days, even typing this is hard work, sleeping most of the time, any remidies/ cures welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yep, no magic cures I'm afraid. You can take the usual cold/flu remedies to help with some of the symptoms. Drink plenty of fluids and rest. Let your body deal with the infection. Personally I like Berroca, which is a Vit b/c drink.. just helps give me a little bit of a lift.

Waylander Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 My fave medical article remains the venerable New England Journal of Medicine one advocating home made chicken soup to reduce length of down time from colds and flu! Personal experience would also say to add some hot fever source to it to really open up them sinuses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Don't take this as advice, whatever you do, but I buy one of those one a day vitamin C tablet bottles, and down the entire months supply in two days. You either sleep or sit on the toilet for two days solid, but it works a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 aaah the old Extra Vitamin C routine. 1000mg a day is what you take for that but I have read it being debunked recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
