Not a cure Jen but vixes in hot water in a bowl towel over the head helps me along with ibeprofen and hot drinks. Eg. Fresh lemons in a pot of water and a little bit of whisky can help.

Get better soon love and say hi to Ste.

Best to go doctor , you don't want it turning into pneumonia. With what's going round it is possible.

If not then stay in bed, lemon and honey and plenty of liquids.

Get well soon

Only thing to get rid of it is an antibiotic. Avoiding getting one is just gonna cause damage. I'm from a tiny village where the chemist throws antibiotics out like sweets though. Feel your pain re no medical card

If it is a chest infection sometimes antibiotics is the only thing once it hits the chest it's hard to cure.

"If it is a chest infection sometimes antibiotics is the only thing once it hits the chest it's hard to cure.

I agree. This chest infection has been going around for weeks and some have turned really bad including mine. I chose not to take antibiotics first either but then it turned into bronchitits. It took me weeks to get rid of it. As a longterm effect I have now lost my sense of smell, which I hope will return at some stage...

Honey you'll have to go to doctor before it turns into pneumonia!!!! It'll cost more and will take longer to cure if you ignore it!!! Please mind yourself!

steam, bath and/or shower with the water as hot as you can take it. it loosens the mucus and makes it easer to get it out of your system

rest, plenty of it

liquids, make sure you drink plenty

As a nurse myself i have to agree an antibiotic is the only way to go to clear it quickly, theres a lot of pnemonia about at the moment thats the last thing you need
