Give me your best cold remedies

[Coffeesnob11]

Friday night it started with a non supply streaming nose and now I have a very tockly cough and feel achy. I have taken paracetamol and drinking lots of water but what other remedies do you recommend? I am a lone parent of a 4 year old and it's impossible to be properly ill and relax.

You need Night nurse to make sure you get some sleep tonight…it’s amazing stuff. Not sure about daytime remedies…I usually just take paracetamol and coffee!

Melted butter and honey sipped by the spoonful for your throat. Ginger and turmeric herbal tea about 4 times per day add lemon and honey for an extra boost. Antihistamine to dry up the runny nose. Stay as warm as possible and eat plenty.

Honey in hot water with a splash of whisky.

Hope you get better soon op. Being unwell with a little one is hell on earth.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have just moved opposite my sister so she already messaged to say she's cooking roast and will bring ours over later which is a god send.
I need to get more lemons as I run out yesterday but the shop is very close so I might drag my little one round there and get him a magazine to do this afternoon. He is being very cute and bringing me fake food to eat and cuddling me.

What a lovely sister you have. Enjoy your Sunday roast and cuddles.
