Slice lemons, pour boiling water over same, add honey for sweetner, and drink while hot.
Cheap and effective.
Thank me after the weekend, and enjoy yourself.

Take a zinc suppliment. It will boost your immune system and help you get over the cold quicker. I took it last time I had a cold and it was gone in about 5 days.
It might not be gone by the weekend, but it will lessen the symptoms.
You can buy them in Asda. It's around £1.24 for 30.
Hope you feel better soon

I use Zicam nasal swabs. It is basically a zinc preparation that is absorbed thru the mucous membranes in your nostrils directly into the blood stream....zinc blocks viral replication.
I use Zicam once a day, haven't had a cold in four years. Four years ago I used it when I got cold symptoms and they were gone in two three days. I highly recommend it.

warm honey with lime helps sometime to coat your sore throat and there this over the counter medicine called Zicam for the rest of the symptoms that usually works pretty well.

Loads and loads and loads of fluids (clear ones), paracetamol for the pain and swelling. Then try Olbas oil in water and breathe in the steam. Eat as many varied fruits as you can too to get your vitamin levels up. Good luck. x

Sudafed will dry you up.And pholcodeine is good for a dry cough.Painkillers of your choice can be taken with these as well.If you are on medication check with the Pharmacist first.

take some beechams and drink plenty of water because drinking water is the best way to flush it out of your system and beechams makes you feel better whilst you try to get it out of your system
