Best Remedy for STINKING cold?

[JessicaandRebeccasmummy]

Im suffering - BADLY!

Not only sleep deprived, but full of snot that keeps running out of my nose, a barking cough that is keeping me and the baby awake, and generally feel like poo!

Have been taking Beechams tablets - CRAP

Have taken Benolyn - No effect

Have resorted to Jessica's Medised.... not sure - too soon to tell

Anyone help with something that is GUARENTEED to work ASAP? Cant cope anymore!

I'm in the same situation, though possibly not as bad. I take loads of Vitamin C, and Day/Night Nurse....which tastes absolutely awful - even with a cold! Hope you feel better soon.

Don;t know if it's a coincidence but I have flu and today started taking Nelson's Coldenza and am feeling a lot better. It's homeopathic.

thanks girls.... anythign else anyone?????

I have heard that a toddler with Chicken Pox really helps, you are so busy making sure they don't scratch too much, you forget you have a cold.

i wish it was working!!! i need to shift it!

Isn't there a nasal spray thing out now that can stop a cold if in first stages? May be useful getting it for future or may help now? I read it in a magazine so if I find mag will post which one and where to buy it.

Are you doing a couple of steams with a towel and hot water?

take the effervescent vitamin c tablets. but have them three times a day or more. aas vitamin c is water soluble, any extra just gets excreted out.
get some zinc tablets, some cod liver oil, and some echinacea tablets. or as a tea

havent been, because im not bunged up - its all running out - literally!

oh well..... off to bed now, will be off to chemists first thing to browse the shelves and ask the pharmasist i think. I really CANT cope another day like today!

Hello, I'm a new netter n really should be in bed by now cos Ive just got over sumthing v. similar. Have you tried those earcandle things?I know it sounds nuts but if you pass near a health shop 2moro like Holland n Barrett they sell for 'bout £7. Me and my sis. both did them (you really need someone to help) and it sortid out both our colds! Worth a go!

I think Lemsip Max direct is fab. Are you bf though? Not sure if you can use it if you are. Having said that, I took ordinary lemsip while I was - it was a case of desperation to feel better and I think anything that gets through to the milk is very small. (Obviously don't take both products together and not with other paracetamol containing products either). Hope you feel better soon.

Forget the pharmacy JARM...

Go to supermarket, buy one industrial sized bag of lemons and a jar of honey (perhaps two). Every couple of hours, squeeze a lemon, add hot water and then ladle in the honey to taste. Take two paracetemol when you feel the worst.

Its one of the biggest injections of vitamin C and goodies you can get. Its great when you feel all achey.

Hot orange juice is also nice when you have a cold, but not as effective.

HTH

Forget the lemons, just pop down to your local dealer and get an industrial sized bag of heroin. You won't notice a thing if you keep injecting it for a week or so.

pmsl!

well of all things.... MEDISED has worked! Ok so im not under 12 years old, what is in that stuff?! ITS FAB!

Dried up my snotty nose and cleared my head so i can actually think straight!

how much did you take think ill do the same

2 5ml spoonfuls twice a day.... just cant believe how well it worked!

For the first time in 3 nights, i slept in bed last night rather than the sofa as i wasnt coughing!!!
