Has anybody else had this winter viral thing:
Cough
Cold
Fever
Aching body parts
Sneezing
Snotting
Loss of voice
Pounding headache
No taste
No Smell
Lethargic
How long does it last? Ive had it since Tuesday..... and its not going away. Just when you think it has it comes back again.
Any tips on what I should be doing to feel better?
Doc won't give antibiotics because its viral. So just be taking paracetamol (painkiller) cough syrup and inhaling.
Feel like Cr...........................p!

I had lost my voice about a month ago, but 2 weeks ago I got the rest of the crud and the worst part lasted about a week. Use Vicks on your chest, get the vapor plugs to plug in right next to your bed, a good decongestant, and Similisan Ear drops. I swear by these because when your ears are plugged it helps open them back up. I also recommend that people take them on airplanes when they have little kids.

Girl...I am slowly recovering from this mess. I have no voice at all! Mine came with pink eye too :-( It can last up to 2 weeks! The coughing is the worst part! Your doing well with the syrup, but yes...you can't take any anitbiotics. I have been taking claritan (the regular not D) everyday and that has done wonders for me.

Yes, Colds take along time to get over. So drink lots of fluids take some good decongestants to help alleviate your worst symptoms. And also get lots of rest.

Nope, not me, none of the above. Just a little congestion.
