Cold

[Mathew]

I've had a cold for the past three days and it's boring me now. How do you deal with them? I've just been drinking Lemsips which work for a few hours?

I hate colds :( I normally just keep myself well hydrated and try to get plenty of rest.

I will just get some rest and wait for it to go away. If it's getting serious then i'll take pills.

colds work their own way, once they've had their course they'll go away. just dose yourself up, rest, watch silly movies and try to keep warm, sweat it out. hope you feel better soon.

I'd say keep warm, lots of blankets so you can 'sweat' it out as mentioned above. Lots of fruit, for me eating fruit just makes me feel refreshed and you don't get the bloated 'eurgh' feeling you'd get a few hours after eating a greasy cheeseburger. Also, if your nose is blocked get a flannel, run it under hot water, wait for it to cool slightly so you don't burn yourself and put it on the bridge of your nose.

Get well soon!!
