can't cheekychimp GFZ not open till Friday!! :cry:
Aspirin to start when you've got the temp.
If you've got what I had - you'll need a strong suppressant cough mixture like Covonia and then when you get the sore throat, which is like eating barbed wire when you swallow, not much will help but a good anaesthetic throat spray will ease things. It leaves you weak for a lot longer than you'd think.
So I hope you haven't got it!!
Take nurofen for any achy joint.
Vicks nasal spray for your nose
Honey and Lemon with some hot water for your throat
Lots and lots of orange juice for your immune system
wrap up warm, everywhere
Pull a one day sickie and get plenty of sleep.
As long as its not bird flu :shock: thats scary :scared:
Oh and if you get the Covonia shake the bottle like it says!! I didn't and near burnt me tongue off!!
As Dark says Strepsils (strong) are good in the later stages.
taking my hot water bottle to bed now & snuggling up to my duvet :cry: tissues stuffed under my pillow & my teddy bear under my arm. Night night :cry:
what works 4 me everytime - an asprin for the temperature and aches, then i stuff my nose with tissues with a little alsbas oil, cold, flu even malaria cured overnight.
