Ok, so there is no cure I know, but does anyone have any tips on how to ease symptoms etc?

What works for you? Medicines or more natural remedies....

Thank you *sniff*

For me personally, 2 x 500mg Paracetamol every 6 hours to ease the pain and fever, together with 1 x 60mg Sudafed tablet to dry up the nose so that I can breathe and sleep at night.

If there is a dry cough, I would take Pholcodine Linctus, the original formula with ethanol and sugar, as it tastes better.

The first night, I usually make a Hot Toddy with whisky, milk or soya milk, and honey, and take my dose of paracetamol and Sudafed with it just before I go to bed.

I usually sweat it out the first night, and feel better for it afterwards.

Get well soon!

Oh, and I would drink plenty of hot Ribena, very soothing and tasty!

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

The rule goes:

If you take cold cures it will last a week. If you don;t, it lasts 7 days.

There is nothing you can do to cure the common cold. All you can do is make it go easier, which usually involves alcohol. I have one myself right now too. Snot fun.

add some honey and sugar to this mix. Ive d*unk it in autumn and winter for years and havent had bad flu or any cold for all that time. The occasional sniffle for a half day is the worst..... best medicine is to not get ill.....

Junk food and a hot toddy. Eat what you want when you want. Have plenty of fluids. And sweat it out.

Feel better soon x

Chop up a small red chili, one of the hot ones, and a piece of ginger and put it in a mug, add boiling water and drink that a couple of times a day.

It may not get rid of it but it makes you feel better. Works for me.

Plus eat oranges or take Vitamin C supplements all year round. I also find that the flu jab not only prevents you getting the flu but it also seems to either cut out colds too or at least limit the severity/duration of them.

Get well soon coz we don't need a cold doing the rounds in here tyvm

Since I've been having the flu jab, it has limited my colds. Strange that!

Bet I get a cold tomorrow now

Despite all the well intentioned aforementioned advice, in my humble opinion it will just run it's natural course anyway

I've not been well, finally caught the kids cold, so I went to the gym and sweated it out! Worked a treat.

I swear by vitamin-C and tons of black pepper on my food along with paracetamol every 4 hours.

Thanks for the advice, although not all of it helpful lol!

As I say, not looking for a "cure" just to get some relief.

Ta v.much
