Answer 1

don't bother with lemsip or cough syrup take paracetamol and bruffin and drink as much water as you can handle
cough syrup only treats the symptoms and with lemsip you are not getting the limit if paracetamol .
paracetamol will bring you temp down
bruffin will help and pain and inflammation (such as tonsils)
the water will flush out the bug making you fill crap

Answer 2

Try reflexology! If you have your partner (or other family member) handy now ask them to rub your feet around the ball of your foot and each toe. Your toes represent your sinuses and the ball of your foot represent your lungs. Also, they can give you just a general foot rub as well. If you have olbas oil then the other thing you could do is get a bowl of really hot water and put a few drops of the oil into it, then get a towel over your head and lean over the bowl and inhale the hot air (heat will dilate your airways so that the oil can get into your respiratory system). Good night!

Answer 3

Dont leave the house but keep the windows slightly ajar to get some air
Wrap up warm
I agree with the first comment, try allergy medicines like Piriton it might be Hayfever
and most of all drink plenty of Orange Juice, Honey and Lemon with crushed Ginger and just rest.

Answer 4

Cough syrups and lemsip cost a lot of money and are full of sugar! Get some real stuff like fresh lemon and honey and chew some fresh ginger, does the trick for me!

Answer 5

I, too, am suffering! Nasty one, isn't it.

I keep going with the aid of Beecham's Powders Capsules (actually, Tesco's equivalent!) and Sudafed nasal spray. And I also have a rather dead Olbas oil inhaler, which I must get a new one of...

Other than that, drink plenty of water, take a spoonful of honey when you need to for the cough, and it will eventually go away of its own accord.

Answer 6

Try Manuka honey Active+10 to be taken dry not mixed with liquid . For hot drink try camomile/honey/lemon

Answer 7

Try this. Take 1/2 cup warm water mixed with 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar. It will prompt your body to produce more of its own Cortizone, which will unstop your sinuses.
Hopefully, you have apple cider vinegar.
Good luck, and get better.

Answer 8

attempt reflexology! in case you have your better half (or different family individuals member) reachable now ask them to rub your ft around the ball of your foot and each and each toe. Your ft signify your sinuses and the ball of your foot signify your lungs. additionally, they are able to grant you purely a primary foot rub as properly. in case you have olbas oil then the different element you are able to desire to do is get a bowl of extremely warm water and positioned some drops of the oil into it, then get a towel over your head and lean over the bowl and inhale the nice and comfortable air (warmth will dilate your airlines so as that the oil can get into your respiration gadget). good night!

Answer 9

Echinesia baby! You can find it in an Health and Vitamin store. Get the liquid form with the dropper. You'll be doin somesaults in no time!

Answer 10

take zinc (from the health shop)

go out for a walk in the fresh air to clear your head.
