What makes you feel better when you’re down with a winter bug? Tell Nurofen for Children for a chance to win a £250 Love2Shop voucher! NOW CLOSED

[MichelleMumsnet]

Nurofen for Children have asked us to find out what makes Mumsnetters and their DCs feel better when they’re feeling under the weather during the winter months.

Here’s what Nurofen says, “Both adults and children may experience a sniffle or two this winter, but the whole family wants to feel their best to make the most of the festive season. From Halloween to Christmas, there are plenty of family occasions to enjoy during the colder months and being holed up in the house is no fun for anybody. If you or your children are struck down with cold or flu, Nurofen offers a range of products to help manage both adult and child symptoms including fever, sore throats, headaches and minor body aches.”

So, what do you do to help yourself and your DCs feel better when you are (both) down with a winter bug? Do you tuck yourself under multiple covers on the couch and put on a marathon of your favourite TV show? Perhaps you have a special recipe which you reserve for when you’re feeling under the weather which you find keeps you going? Or maybe a hot bath does the trick for you and your DC? Whatever it is, we’d love to hear it.

Everyone who leaves their comments below will be entered into a prize draw to win a £250 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

a big fry up followed by a long walk in the woods to get fresh air

Tucked up in bed after a long hot bubble bath, with some hot honey and lemon and something entertaining on the TV.

Chicken soup, curling up on the settee with a snuggly blanket.

A hot drink and a snuggly warm blanket aways makes me feel better

A nice warm drink and then curl up in bed with the cat and listen to a play on the radio / podcast. Helps time pass and will often help me fall asleep without feeling like I have been awake for ages trying to sleep.

staying in bed with a cup of tea, chocolate, plenty of tissues and a SATC marathon!

snuggling up on the sofa, watching films together helps me and my children to feel a little better, especially when accompanied by hot chocolate and marshmallows :)

I don't know what it is - whether its the old 'medicinal' type ads or the fact its so full of sugar - but Lucozade does it for me everytime - that first sip always feels like bliss!!

Watching my favourite movies whilst tucked up in bed

A hot water bottle and a WHOLE BULB of garlic mashed up with salt & lemon juice and spread on a piece of toast.

Snuggling up on the coach under the duvet with a not Lemsip (with a vitamin tab in it), watching something on TV that I don't have to think about, like 'Say Yes To The Dress'

Plenty of hot drinks and the boxset of Friends.

Hot bubble bath, fresh pjs, a nap and then a catch up with all my TV programmes.

A burning fire, a cosy duvet and a big hug.

Chicken Noodle soup and a snuggle on the sofa with a quilt and a box of tissues:)

Inhaling steam and drink fresh orange juice. I don't know if the orange juice does anything or if it's just a placebo effect, but I like to feel I'm doing something about it!

A hot bath and a funny film.

Cuddle up on the sofa and watch favourite movies

Hot toddies with Honey and Lemon

keeping wrapped up on the settee with plenty of hot drinks and pain relief.

laying on the sofa with my family at my beck and call :)

Cuddles - what could be better that cuddling up together when you're feeling under the weather

Tinned tomato soup and cold toast is our family poorly meal always eaten on the sofa. We make sure we are dosed up. Nurofen is the only thing which will bring ds temperature down and he gets HOT!

Then lots of cuddles and rest with the poorly person getting full control of the remote

lying on the couch with a hot water bottle, watching crappy telly!

I like to have a nice hot cup of orange juice with a teaspoon of honey mixed in. Makes me feels better every time!
