No - definitely no decongestant. You can still get comfort from a mug of hot ribena though...

No - Try hot orange juice with honey though this helped a bit when I was in the same boat. Hope you feel better soon

SteriMar. Use it to irrigate your nostrils.

It's just saline and you can get it at the chemist.

Olbas oil.

Hot water with fresh lemon squeezed in and honey.
