Anyone any idea's, as I feel like shite, and cannot sleep. Ive tried all the, off the shelf stuff, but still rough....any suggestions, Serious ones please? :(

Furkin hot curry and kiwi fruit

Thanks, but I cant do Hot Curries....NEXT?

i must admit a good steam with drops of olbus oils in the water helps to clear the head. have plenty of tissue to hand for the snott. i have just got over being quite grotty. lemsip max strenght at 4 hour intivals and wrap up warm .

 

get well soon mate.

20 layers of clothes, whisky, hot lemon, paracetomol. black packet of halls mentholyptus for when nose snotting. boil kettle and put face as much in the steam as you dare.

sniff a teaspoon of vodka!

 

straight to the brain and your nose will not run again! :hyper:

having spent all day wrapped up in bed, paracetamol every 4 hours for the aches and pains, washed down with southern comfort(no mixer or ice) for the sore throat/evil cough and lots of tissue for the snotty sneezes...not the best cure-all, but after 4th or 5th straight SC, who cares!!!

PS it's OK Gaz....not blaming you for passing it around at Hatchgate.........honest guv

Seriously big guy,

 

A hot, hot bath, Ibuprofen, not Paracetamol, and red wine ! ;)

 

Hot bath raises the body temp, Ibuprofen then does the biz, and the red wine thins the blood and lets it all go smoothly !!

Shame you cant manage the hot curries. Chilli or hot pepper dishes work just the same.

Go for a Merlot wine, supposed to be the best.

 

Failing that, this wee nurse might help ? ;)

 

Alan...........

i must admit i went out sat night and drank about 7 southern comforts and 1 beer. and i felt great no snotty nose or sore throat.

 

 

so BIG KIM DRINK SOUTHERN COMFORT.

there are a few views on medicating for true flu, if it is true flu then you really aint gonna get much relief from anything off the shelf, stay away from excessive alchohol tho as it will flush through the usefull stuff you are trying to put in , parecetamol is a anti pyretic which will control the temperature but some people dont like that as your body raises its temp to help kill the virus so nurofen will be better.

Cheers Guys :D

Sudafed! clears the nose up

i just get dosed up on lemsip flu capsules, then maybe a bhot whisky and lemonade to get to sleep, find fresh air does thetrick i hate sitting in the house when i have the man flu

have you ever read the active ingredients in lemsip, its bloody paracetamol+ vitamin c , some variants have a decongestant and caffeine in as well, bloody rip off

Get yourself one of these and sweat it out running away..... No cure mate just takes time.... get well soon

as above m8 if proper flu not a great deal that can be done apart from time,when i was having me chemo i caught infections REALLY easy and wasnt a great deal that could be done,

 

one tip m8, when going to sleep try and sleep as upright as possible, (no not standing up lol) ie as close to sitting up as is comfortable, helps all the shit that builds up at night and having the spluttering/coughing fits in the mornings;)
