there is none all the things a doctor can cure and a cold is not one of them try steam a bowl and a towel over you head with vicx vapur rub in the water thats what i do
A hot Lemsip with a good tot of scotch, works wonders.
lemsip alright but it tast horrible dont you tjhink
Lol - the blackcurrant ones are slightly better.
You can put a spoonful of sugar or honey in it. I always find that one of these drinks before bed makes you sweat the cold away............sometimes........but if the tot of scotch is big enough at least you get a decent nights sleep.
some people swear by mulled wine, or warmed red wine

i just take plenty hot soup and keep warm and it will run its course

echinacea is good if taken to keep colds away but I only remember about it after i get a cold lol
dont you think it all ways comes back after a couple of hours after you took somthing for it drives me mad

Have already thought of the hot toddy...got myself some Famous Grouse today....hope that will do the trick
Docpuss also says dab some Olbas oil on your pillow it helps you breathe and you don't wake up with a mouth like blotting paper.
how about a nice hot toddy, a tot of whiskey topped up with hot lemonade, straight to bed to sweat it out and if it dont work your sleep tight anyway!!!!
Honey and lemon is good.

Even better if its a real bad cold - my grandfather used to swear by hot milk with raw egg and brandy mixed - makes you sweat it out but if your generous with the brandy you wont care what it tastes like!

woodhamgirl-can I have it without the raw egg....pleeese?? right now i just want to cut my nose off...it is tickling sooo much!
Hot orange and paracetomol usually does the trick. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.
