Cold remedies?

[3Rainbows]

I still feel rubbish a week after catching this cold. I feel as ill as I did on the 1st day : (

Anyone think of anything i can do/take to feel better?

An old remedy I use is either Honey and warm milk...
or whisky/rum with honey

[joannie10]

can I ask in which way you are feeling rubbish? runny cold or achey bones etc or just generally run down? Not certain I can offer help just wondered whay symptoms.

[cazzz1975]

plenty of comfort food, paracetamol, warm rich drinks and plenty of rest!

Really run down and completely knackered! Blocked nose and headaches! Oooh bundle of laughs me!

poor thing 3Rainbows love :-)
you know what they say ........feed a cold ............
so have something to eat that you fancy and can easily digest , and cuddle up with a warm drink . You could take something like paracetamol or night nurse to help with any fever. Get well soon . :-) xx

only thing that has worked for me recently was somthing called nu-cron out of Boots. Really dried up the cold I had although did not sleep well that night - must have had caffine or something. Was worth it though cause I certainly felt better once it all dried up. Not sure what will 'pick you up' - perhaps chocolate???? maybe just getting rid of the cold will allow you to get better sleep and that will do the trick? No magic ideas though I am afraid. Any feel good films around the house?

Firstly make J cook for you and take care of the boy... and go and have a nice hot bath.. go to bed with a hot water bottle and drink lots of water. Take some vitamin tablets if you can and eat loads of fruit and veg.

Love ya xx

Thanks everyone. I couldnt get to the shops to get night nurse or the boots tabs. Didn't get out of my pj's today. Tried honey and warm milk which made me gag (not a hunny lover).Did find a x-mas selection box though : ) x

Ruby, as mum and sis were round I cooked a roast dinner. Mum is putting the boy to bed and Mr Rainbow is in the pub : (

I am how ever going to take some paracetomal,have a bath in peace then fill my hot water bottle get an early night and watch rubbish tv (or finishing watching piglets big movie on dvd?).

Thanks again.x

Echinacea and loads of it. Your body will have an immediate boost. You can buy it in a bottle at Holland and Barrett.
