i am in exactly the same boat, really fed up with it now, have been recomended Honey and Lemon tea which is working wonders, have a few cups a day and don't feel guilty as there are no meds in it!

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Ooooh where from??

 

[kirlykird]

I had a bad cold a few weeks back and had antibiotics but that's only because I got a bad chest infection with it

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Ouch!
I dont think ive got that far into it yet.. if jaycees still bad in 2 days im gonna take her in for antibiotics..then grab some for me!

I had a horrid cold a few months back, sore throat, cough, the lot - basically I took 2 paracetamol when i felt really bad and then hot honey and lemon (teaspoon of each) whenever I needed it. got through a whole jar of honey in a week! It helps a bit but nothing beats good old Night Nurse.....

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Eww i dont like honey
Guess ill have to just do it if it will help!

 

[traceyjones]

Try adding more lemon juice until the honey is disguised - it's much better hot too.

Hope you feel better soon and manage a good night's sleep

Hi,
I have had a stinking cold this week too. I sent my OH to the chemist to see of there was anything I could take and they said basically there isn't anything that would make any difference because apart from paracetamol you can only have childrens doses of anything. So I guess we just have to let it take its course. The one thing I did which has really helped was to start taking my pronatal vitamins again and I have to say I have really started to feel much better.

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Hmm might have to give that a go! No harm in taking vitamins!

:Anyway missy.... have a bone to pick with you

Ever since I read and replied to your thread, I have acquired a constant runny nose and terribly sore throat!

What do you think you're doing passing your germs through my laptop?!
