Dr. Squonk recommends: a big thick duvet, a lemsip and a day in front of crappy daytime tv.

check the paracetamol content - not sure you should take them together.

Take the sudafed and warm blackcurrant juice (if you've got it)

BigCremeEggs · 27/03/2007 09:18

Do not use if -

You are taking aspirin or any other pain relieving medication.

If you are dying then it must be man-flu, for which there is no cure
