Cold

[2sp_]

I have a stinking cold.

I know that I just have to ride it out, and that there is no cure for the common cold, but is there really anything that I can take to make me feel just a little bit more human?

in addition to the Lemsips I always take berocca and echinachea drops - don't care if's it's all in my head they always make me feel better. Plus a nice steamy bath, fresh jammies and fresh sheets ....

they say if you treat a cold it will last seven days but if you leave it untreated it will stick around for a week.

Still, no harm in trying to lessen the symptoms. And whisky will make you feel better about it.

apart from the other suggestions,olbas oil sprinkled around the edges of your pillow,is miraculous at making you breathe normally when your nostrils are all stuffed up. I was given this tip years ago,and it helped so much,i always have a bottle in the house.Any chemist has it:-)
