Ooh, that nasty bug has hit here too. You might lose your voice next. Hot drinks, paracetomol, nurofen and alcohol should do the trick. A pint of water at bedtime. Speak to no one until you can sing again, or you'll be back at square one throat wise. Get well soon.

I'm just now getting over a cold where my throat hurt as well. I started taking those Airborne tablets immediately and then at night I dosed up with generic Nyquil. During the day, there's really not much you can do except take the Day tablets. Drink plenty of hydrating fluids, get LOTS of rest. Don't smoke, if you do. I got over it in a week, but still left with the cough.

Awww, poor Zippy, I hope you feel better soon. The thing that works for me if i have a bad cold, is getting as much fresh air as possible. I know that maybe sounds silly, but it really does work and it's free also!

I know a good one, Dodds - a good old Stella and Pot like in the good old days!! Hahaha!! The Bombay Bad Bugger keeps the cold away. Gent would support me on that one.
No, I know a good alternative medicine for you, and costs nothing at all. It's a good long cuddle at day and night, and a 100 spoonfuls of love and affection. That will help in taking the cold away!! Let me give it a try for you!!! Hahaha!! : ) x
Get well very soon, loveable one.

Orange juice orange juice orange juice! Trust me! Someone told me about it when i had a sore throat and I just thought yeah right, he was like stop popping those nurofen and taking the Benelin cos it does not work, get yourself a carton of orange juice and get into bed and drink it and tomorrow you will be fine.
And guess what- I was!
