[sarah0202]

is there anything you can take? i have been having paracetomol when i feel bad but last night i just kept coughing and when i cough it makes me throw up! i have put an extra pillow on my bed but that is just giving me a neck ache any suggestions?

Honey and lemon! I OD on it when I'm I'll and it always helps. I sniff Vicks too if I have a blocked nose

I make up my own stuff, which I did beote I was pg.
Take one lemin and slice it. Take an inch of fresh ginger and thinly slice it. Add a clove of garlic crushed.
Put it all in a pot with 4 large cups of water and boil for 20mins. Then ladle out a cup and add honey or sugar to taste.
Each cup u have will be stronger as it will stew each time u heat the pot up.
I find it great especially for freshly coughs. You will find that you may sweat... thats the garlic detoxing you

I just squeeze half a lemon and add a good dollup of honey, add hot water and stir
