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!!
Not really sure as I can help as it's only woman flu and as we all know it is no where near as strong a virus as it's sibling MAN FLU :shock: :shock: :shock: so all I can suggest is a hot toddy some flu medicine and then tuck yourself up in bed with a loved one (but for the love of god don't give him flu remember how it's more deadly for males ) confused and wrap a nice heavy duvet around yourself smile Jobs a good un :?
Aaaarhhhh thanks guys for the drink & for the info. Been takingflu lemsips all day at work but not felt any better for it. May just need a day or two in bed lol
Vitamin C tablets
hot lemon drink with honey & a couple of paracetamol/ asprin
Strepsils (the one's behind the counter, not off the shelf, if ya have to ask for em they're generally stronger!) and if its full-on barbed wire/ razor blade throat, ask for some Eludril spray.
Chesty too? - As Choon says, Covonia is good, tastes like crap tho, Meltus also pretty good. Inhaling eucalyptus oil in a bowl of hot water with a towel over ya head is also good, as is eucalyptus oil mixed in a bit of vaseline and rubbed on your chest ( :twisted: ), much cheaper than vapourrub but exactly the same stuff! wink
If you want a full-on herbal remedy, Nettle syrup is the best one , not many folk are interested in that one, but you can have the recipe by pm if ya want it :shock: :wink:
Stay in one room, wrap yourself in duvet, sweat it out, and console yourself on here so as not to infect anyone else!!
:wink:

Dark your a star!! Love cuddling my duvet!!
forgot to say
if its manflu, you're beyond help!! lol
seriously - forget the stuff you can get in packets off shelves, they're weak, they dont work and they're bloody expensive!! basic ingredients of all counter cough and cold remedies are the same and can be made at home. Dont overdose ya system on synthetic chemical based crap when you're already feeling like shite! wink
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.

its true though, the branded stuff everyone buys , like....Benylin, isnt a patch on the old-fashioned bronchial balsam type stuff, you know, thick black treacle type that feels like its burning a hole in ya chest, makes ya eyes water and takes your breath away??? lol
Covonia = good stuff! nettle syrup's better though wink

The best thing I can recommend is a good long shag. I mean one that you both put lots into and lasts about 1 hour. You both sweat a lot finish up exhausted and then fall asleep. When you wake up you're either cured or feel worse! rolleyes

How can a quickie cure flu ????????????
Man flu or that sniffly little thing that the pretty little girlies get ???????????

OK - so you think 1 hour is a quickie. Maybe u could try a good one hour then watch match of the day and if she's still awake after the footie try again. If not try again anyway!!
Only kidding - honest lol
