48 hours to shake off the lurgy… tips!?

[C1239]

Ive had an annoying cold the last couple of days - not sneezing loads more sinuses, blocked nose, headache, sore throat, body aches… I’m meant to have lots on this weekend, birthday celebrations etc…. Please give me your top tips for me to shake it off by Saturday lunchtime?!!

How are you feeling today @gotomomo & @SnapBang ?

Definitely still go! It’s a cold. Loads of water, hot drinks, paracetamol, fresh air, rest, great nights sleep, eat well and get really pissed at the party. Have a fabulous time.

Thank you @Moveoverdarlin . Does anyone take metatone for colds?

I was once in this situation and my boss bought 2 x two litres bottles of water and instructed me to drink them and then continue drinking as much water as I basically could. It worked! Felt better the next day.

Also echinacea

I did take some echinacea at the start, so frustrating, I don’t think I’m going to feel better for the weekend celebrations 😟

Vicks vapour rub - a blob on the sole of each foot and big socks over for bed. Sounds insane but it works for me every time, if I don’t feel completely better the morning after, I feel 100 times better at least.

Sleep and lots of fluids

Hot bath to clear your sinuses, drink some berocca, drink your body weight in water, stay under a blanket resting, and you could do a face massage too to clear your sinuses.

Then on the day, I'd knock back a couple of paracetamol and an energy drink and then party. You won't notice you're ill after a few bevs.

Have you managed to go to your event tonight @gotomomo , I think I’m going to have to write off most of this weekends plans. So frustrating.

Nice! Hope you’re happy spreading covid around. No wonder we can’t bloody well get ourselves out of this pandemic.

Water, sleep, as much fruit and veg as possible, vitamins, rest when not sleeping. Fingers crossed OP!

It’s not covid @WillyWonkaBlues as I’ve had that recently. I don’t want to spread my germs around but at the same time don’t want to let people down!

Sorry just seen this - I went yesterday!!! It was fab!!! 😃😃😃 How are you OP? Did you go?

You can be reinfected very quickly now thanks to all the variants so a prior infection means very little unfortunately. Have you tested?
