Eccinachea (sp?) is meant to be good.

I usually go for a combo of pints of Ribena and Panadol and glasses of iced tea.

Stay off anything dairy, it encourages mucus creation.

I think Lucozade is meant to be good for colds as it boosts energy Shocked

?

Might get some of those over-advertised pills that you always see on TV, wonder if they work Thinking

Dairy thing is noted though and I won't be buying any chocolate drinks today Sick

Not sure if they sell Eccinachea at Tesco? And I'd feel stupid asking for it as I can't say it let alone know what it is Laughing

Thanks B

Ek-in-ay-she-ah.

It's a 'natural remedy', comes in tablets. Tesco have them on the shelf with all the other cold & flu stuff.

I had the worse cold in years 4 weeks ago - the only thing that got close to touching it was Day Nurse.

I too have a terrible cold....nothing works (but beer is good at masking the symptoms!)

This winter (I say winter as summer has not arrived!), I've had the flu twice and a chest infection!

Thing is, until this winter I never got ill!!! Crying or Very sad

Night & Day Nurse is your friend. It doesn't actually get rid of your cold/flu but gets rid of the symptoms. Very good! Very Happy

Best stuff i've found, was Beechams max power Razz

powders, they don't taste very nice but do the job! You're supposed to take them with water but I just take mine with a flavoured drink like cordial, not fizzy stuff though.

Keep warm, eat food three times a day...have onions, garlic and ginger in your foods. Drink plenty fluids (flush out the crap) and take Vitamin C & Zinc Lozenges (Holland & Barrett) and a couple of Echinacea drops in water each morning.

Remember the saying feed a cold, starve the flu

Hot lemon and Honey and lots of warmth and rest is the best thing to cure a cold.

Along with some paracetemol to get rid of aches and such like. Smile

Vitamin C, hayfever pills (to reduce the swelling of your nasal bits) a warm bed, lots of sleep, a DVD or 2, and someone bringing you cups of tea.

Worked for me!

If I feel a cold coming on I take one of thost effervescent vitamin C pills per day - they contain some stupidly high RDA but it really does the job. They're cheap too.
But you'll never kill the cold - the ice age is coming I tell thee!

Apparently a recent study showed that Echinacea had little effect on getting rid of a cold. It's never made any difference to the colds I've had Confused

I take garlic and vitamin C when I get a cold, and pill-wise I'd definitely recommend lemsip max strength capsules. Those during the day, Night Nurse at night, that'll sort it!

Colds and Flu are both respiratory infections and as echinacea is one of the best remedies for microbial infections I would greatly recommend them....they will not necessarily have any effect on the outward symptoms but they do wonders on the inside. After all, prevention is better than cure, and prevention is what this little herb excels at when it comes to cold. Very Happy

So many different things to try out... but by the time I make it to chemist and sort these things out I'll be feeling better anyway Laughing

I think I'll just leave it... not that bothered really I can put up with it, just was annoying me this morning at time of posting as I could barely breath... but a short walk in the fresh air, some cold relief pills a bottle of lucozade and an egg and cress sandwich seemed to make me feel better for an hour or so.

T'is only a cold it'll go away just damn annoying when sat trying to get work done (Honest guv!)
