Anyone else got a cold?
13 Answers
I have and its very annoying because i can never seem to shake them off. Has anyone got anything to help get rid of it, i'm on 9 different pills 3 times a day already, if you can suggest something that would be great because otherwise i'll be off to the pharmacy in the morning buying vitamin C and Zinc tablets.
(Sorry if i sound like i'm moaning and complaining but if you don't ask you don't get)

This is a genuinely fantastic Irish cure - we use it all the time.
Ingredients:
Half bottle of Whiskey (note the 'e' - no Scots nonsense)
1 Lemon
some Cloves,
Sugar.
Put about a pint of water in a pan, add lemon slices dotted with cloves, and add whatever sugar you like. Put the mix on the boil.
While it boils, drink the Whiskey.
Empty pan in the sink, retire to bed.
Never fails!

My doctor once told me that a cold would last 7 days if you took tablets etc. and 1 week if left untreated! I just use Olbas Oil in boiling water to steam my head and try to keep up the fluid and vitamin intake. Colds are horrible - I have just had a real stinker but I only get them every 2 or 3 years so I'm lucky.
colds are soooo grotty (I've just had one....and was posting on AB in the wee hours of monday morning in my misery ... I am not a sturdy sould when it comes to feeling poorly:-(
I don't often get a cold but when i do I take copious amount of Vit c and Echinacea. IT doesn't stop the cold but shortens its lifespan (4 me anyway) and paracetamol for aches and pains.
However....this last time I decided to take Lemsip...what a mistake...it has caffeine which kept me awake all night....hence monday mornings ramblings in the early am....
