Sore throats and colds

Last night i went bed feeling fine and dandy then this morning i wake up, with sore chest, cold and unable to speak!
its a nightmare no one understands what am saying :( has this happened to anyone else? and is anyone else in same situation as me ??

Been there, done that. Feel fine one day then suddenly you feel awful.

Get plenty of rest, drink loads of water, try and eat some dry toast or biscuits (typical ill food) and SLEEP! Sleep always seems to help for me :P

If you have any suitable medication in your house then take some - just make sure it's the right stuff and you follow the instructions (I'll probs get accused of something if I don't say that lol)

Hope you feel better soon x

use a face steamer thing lol
i think thats what your meant to do

Steam helps, anything with Vitamin C, honey and lemon drink, rest.

been there many times, i seem to get them a lot lately.

Drink orange juice, avoid dairy (if you're mucus-y), have a hot shower and keep warm is the best.

For the throat, have soothers (dunno if they're just uk or what but there'll be something), and hot drinks are rly good!

Hope you get better soon :)


on phone xx

Thankyou everyone been doing everything I could that has been suggested and so far ive got my voice back :) everything else is getting better but slowly :) x

This usually only ever happens to me when I sleep with my window open on cold nights.

mix honey in warm water and drink that

and eat marshmallows every half an hour or so (it works a charm trust me) :)

usually happens to me this time of year aswell. i drink tea with honey and cough syrup before night and have steam showers and it seems to help a bit

Try strepsils if your throat still hurts

I hate this, I just drink warm drinks, eat soup, have a shower/ bath and sleep. I find soothers don't work for me.

You need to stay hydrated. Drink a lot of water. Steam and vitamin C are also good ideas. Take a hot bath and try and rest.
I also find herbal tea helps a lot.

Recently i've been getting very short colds that last only a few hours then go....... same with a fever I felt the other week that went quickly.

If you feel weak, your body needs sugar. If you feel dehydrated and stuffy, you need water. If you're hot, you need to cool off (so no blankets or use a fan) and if your throat is sore, it may be from sleeping with your mouth open (which admittedly, I do) so just drink until your throat isn't dry or gurgle mouthwash to get rid of bacteria.
My boyfriend would refuse to let me be covered with blankets while having a cold, and even though I thought it was ridiculous at the time, it actually helped. :) Have a few relaxed days and have plenty of vitamins (because why not?)

I normally drink some lemsip with honey - That really helps :).

Yeah, Lemsip tastes like crap but it does help
