Sorry to moan as it's a bit trivial compared to most.
I have had a cold for about a week and a half. I've had low grade fevers, still have a hacking cough that has made me throw up and generally feel awful. The NHS direct site gives the impression that cold medicines don't work. I there anything that might help?
DH suggests I see my GP, but that seems unnecessary. I've had a few days off work (which seems ridiculous with a cold) and I just want to be ok for work on Monday.
