Yip honey & lemon juice in hot water like choklatemonkey said.

Hope you feel better soon hun, it' horrid I've just god rid of it after about 4 weeks

Olbus oil and Vicks vapour rub if you can stomach the smell? Drinking plenty is supposed to help. If you've got a cough then some really simple glycerin-based cough mixtures are ok- ask your chemist, I managed to get a lemon and honey one from Sainsburys I think that was ok, it's basically sugar syrup.

Hope you feel better soon

Hello,

I know how you feel, I had flu last week! Not nice.

I was advised (by the midwife) to take lemsip original NOT max strength (something in it we pregnant ladies are not allowed). That seemed to work for me, but I also drank lots of hot squash too.

Hope you feel better soon.

lots of water and paracetamol if you need it .

olbus oil is awesome

I found Olbas Pastilles really helped. Suck them rather than chew them, and they totally clear your head and stop your cough

I took lemsips and they did the trick for me!
