Iv had a really bad cold for about 5 days now, iv tried warm honey and lemon in tea, paracetamol, using hot steam ect but nothing is working i feel absolutly awful, is there anything else i can try to shift it? my head is constantly hurting, my nose and sinuses are blocked, my chest hurts so bad and everytime i cough it hurts my tummy where iv coughed so much iv pulled the muscles. Any advise would be great xxx

Thanks girls, my dads going to pick me up a 4head thingy and some throat sweets. I just hate feeling so bad, evening just taking the LO's to school is such a effort, then i just come home and lay on the sofa and not move, poor OH comes in from work and has to cook tea, sorts LO's out for bed and walk the dogs poor man, if its still bad in a few days i think i might need to see my doc, even just moving starts off the biggest coughing fit ever xxx

Ive been suffering for about 8wks now ( ive got asthma too so it went to my chest and i had a chest infection so had to have antibiotics then my asthma wouldnt settle so had to have my inhalers strengths increased but i still wasnt getting better so last resort was a course of steroid tablets and im finally feeling better than i was but still not right ( ive got it still in my sinuses a bit now and still a bit of a cough oh and my inhalers have given me thrush in my mouth now too!!! So i really do feel your pain!! I pulled a muscle in my stomach too which was excrutiating oh and lets just say i boosted tena ladys profits quite a bit in the last 2 months because of my coughing pmsl!!!!
