Dreadful cold :(

Aaaah woke up this morning with an awful cold, really achy and can't stop sneezing. I've taken paracetamol and had a few cups of hot spiced berry cordial (which btw is the best thing ever) but still feel crappy.

Can I take regular doses of paracetamol? NHS website seems to say take the lowest dose for the shortest time possible.

Luckily working from home this morning as have a consultant app this pm. Feel a bit bad going to the hospital with germs but need to see them.

Any tips to stop me dying / feeling really sorry for myself?

Urgh.

Check with your consultant and let me know if they have any miracle cures?!

I've been taking original strepsils on the advice of the pharmacist, and chocolate. And whinging at every opportunity.

Paracetamol is fine so take normal doses, just stop once you don't need it any more. Sore throat can be eased with a teaspoon of honey. Lots of fluids, it'll flush the bugs through your system quicker!
