Paracetamol is fine and will make you feel much better. Get well soon.

Paracetamol and instead of the lemsip steep lemon and root ginger in water and add honey.

You can also breathe in steam from boiling water (with a towel over your head). That's what my midwife recommended for nasal congestion. I think most other stuff is off limits.
Get well soon!

Saline solution up the nose. Stings like mad but works a treat. 4-6 times a day, each nostril.
