any tips please for this cough and cold?

[mckenzie]

I've got Vicks vapour rub on my feet, throat, back and chest.
I'm doing steam inhalation.
I've taken a Berocca.
I've eaten lots of kiwi fruit.
But I still feel awful; my nose is constantly running, my ears hurt, my throat is sore and I'm constantly coughing. It's been going on for too long. I'm normally really healthy (I think )

Anything else that I can do? Any old fashioned' garlic clove behind my ear' type of thing even. I'll try anything.

Lemon, ginger and honey....made into a hot drink. Always does the trick for me!

Hope you feel better soon OP.

thanks DangerMouse.
I don't know why I didn't think of that - it's what DS always asks for.
I'm going to make one now.

Use about 3 pillows in bed to keep you propped up. Throw a drop of whiskey into that drink if you have any. It might help you sleep.

DH has just told me that we're out of whiskey. Brandy?
