What's your best remedy for a cold/ flu?

[mrsnoah]

Am just recovering from nasty dose of flu (the entire works, will spare the details)and was wondering..

when you or the kids are flailing around on the sofa drowning in a sea of tissues and/sick bowls,

what did your Mum give you to help cure it?

We have homemade chicken soup.

My mum used to make a bed up on the sofa and give us mugs of hot ribena. Bowls of Heinz tomato soup with cubes of cheese dropped in.

I use echinacea to give the immune system a boost - I think you can get a child version too.

But when I was a child it would be Ribena, rose-hip syrup, Virol, Complan, Dr Brown's something or other. The first two were acceptable but hte others - foul!
