any tips to feel better…fast?
i’ve lost my voice. My throat feel raw and like swallowing glass and I’ve got the cough from hell. One that almost makes you sick, breathless and very mucousy 🤢 I’ve got a thumping sore head from coughing so much
I’m wiped out but it’s DP birthday on Monday and I don’t want to be a party pooper so need to rally and feel better ASAP. Any miracle cure even just for one day

No miracle cure but have you tried hot lemon and honey.

I have the same. Terrible violent coughing and my sides hurt now. No miracle cure but I am taking paracetamol and ibuprofen simultaneously. Keeping the heating cranked up as the cold brings the coughing on.
Hope you feel better soon OP, it's miserable.

I don’t think there’s anywhere that doesn’t hurt. I now see stars coughing. I feel a bit better after a hot shower which helped loosen all the congestion.

we’ve curtailed our plans for today but hopefully I make a miracle cure tomorrow and he can have a nice birthday! Poor soul!
