Posting in AIBU for traffic.

An event that I've been looking forward to all year is happening tomorrow night and I've just started sneezing, runny nose, throat is starting to feel a little bit sore.

I CANNOT be sick for this event!! Please help. What's the best way to ward this off before it starts?

I've hoofed down a multi-vitamin and dosed myself up with extra vitamin C. What else can I do? Thanks all.

I don’t think there’s anything other than drink loads and stock up on paracetamol. It’s only a cold so it won’t hopefully be TOO bad.

Drink plenty of water, keep up the vitamin C, eat lots of vegetables/fruit, have an early night and make sure you rest. I always find a hot bath/shower makes me feel better as well.

Rest as much as you can tomorrow during the day and then dose up on paracetamol. Hope you feel better soon OP!

Happened 2 days before my wedding. High dose Vit C and Echinacea worked for me. Plus many fluids. Good luck.

Thanks all I'm planning to have a hot bath tonight and early bed. Not much rest to be had tomorrow as I'm driving 5 hours to the event. I suppose I could leave early and have a nap when I get there.

Urgh. Bloody typical.

Home made garlic bread lots of chopped garlic and butter and a French baguette in the oven for till yummy. Also whisky lemon and honey warmed.

agree, lots of chopped garlic on hot buttered toast - its only truly delicious when you're ill with a cold! the honey lemon and whiskey is also a favourite of mine!

Anti histamine usually helps learn symptoms for me and mine 😊

Hot toddys all the way. I put in whiskey, lemon, sugar, bashed cloves, 2 ground paracetamol and a splash of hot water. Adjust sugar and lemon to taste. Leave booze out if appropriate 😊

Lessen, not learn

Strong. Hello for evening meal. Night nurse for meds.

Get some codeine for tomorrow (Solpadeine will do the trick), smother yourself with vicks before bed and take nightnurse before bed too.

Don't sniff the fluid back up . Let it drain out .
Drink lots , pain relief, rest .

Hope tonight goes well for you 🤗
