I feel like crap and need to get through today - give me your best remedies

[Bulbstarglitterball]

Have the Christmas illness that is doing the rounds, although not the Covid one and not the Flu one, it’s more of a feel like I’ve swallowed razor blades and generally feel like shit one.

Lemsip hardly touching the sides and I have so much to do today and also want to enjoy as much as possible with DC. Has anyone got anything that might be able to help?

Try steeping sliced fresh lemon and ginger in hot water with a good glut of honey. Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you

Slightly crush a clove of garlic, wait for 5 mins and then swallow while with water (cut in half if it’s huge!).

Steam your face over a bowl with Vicks in if you have any.

Then after about 10am have a hot toddy with a shot of whiskey/rum, lemon, ginger and honey.

You’ll be up for a half marathon after that Hope you feel better asap!

Swallow whole

Throat numbing spray! Can you send someone to boots for you?

Iron-bru (for the sugar and caffeine) and ibroufan in-between the lemsips and if you can get to a chemist you want thorozeen lozenges (they have a local anesthetic) for your throat.

Delegate as much as you can

I have the same. I'm taking night nurse, amd alternating with paracetamol and ibrophen in the day every 4 hours. I'm also using throat numb spray. It's typical we get it over Xmas. Everyone in my family had it a few weeks ago and I thought I'd escaped it.

Currently ill with this nasty coughing/cold virus, on day 5 of it & I can’t see myself getting any better soon.

This morning I brought out the co-codamol, well 2 paracetamol & 30mg codine. It did help my aching body a little bit.

Hope you feel better soon & everyone else that’s feeling rubbish, it’s crap isn’t it.

Thanks all - such annoying timing! I never get ill.
