Please someone save me with some tried and tested cold remedies! My head feels like it's about to fall off my shoulders it's so heavy - yet it feels like the inside is crammed with cotton wool. My throat is raw, my chest is sore and I'm absolutely freezing (sitting next to radiator, 3 layers on and a blanket).

I went to dragged myself to Boots earlier and got some Lemsip. The woman must have felt sorry for me trying to give her my Morrisons More card to pay with! She bagged up my stuff and gave me some tissues (after my 20th sneeze in 30 seconds).

So far Lemsip have done jack all.

I already have constricted sinuses after suffering through my early 20's with severe histamine allergies so I'm probably just unlucky and feeling sorry for myself. But in the interest of being able to sleep tonight - I'll try anything!

Chuck about 40 garlic cloves in a frying pan - trust me on this and use the peeled kind that come in a jar
Quickly fry to just slightly brown

Meanwhile heat up a 400 ml can of chicken soup in another pan
Add the garlic and let it simmer a couple of minutes

The Kneipp cold season/eucalyptus herbal bath is really good.

A stiff shot of booze and the spiciest food you can handle.

Hot toddy and a painkiller then go to bed. If nothing else the hot toddy helps you sleep.

Really strong home made garlic bread or honey and whisky
