What you need to be doing is to keep the phlegm liquid so that you can cough it up from your lungs. Don't ever try to suppress a chesty cough with cough mixtures, coughing is nature's way of making sure the lungs do not become congested. You can try a steam inhalation too but stay inside in the warm. Sip a warm honey and lemon drink for your sore throat. And don't lie flat in bed at night. Prop your self up with an extra pillow and try to breathe as deeply as you can at intervals when awake. Hope you soon get better. Happy New Year!

I think you have an infection.(hence the earache you had when all this started), It will only go with the help of anti-biotics which can only be prescribed by your gp. In the meantime, buy some TYROZETS from the chemist, they contain benzocaine to numb the throat, don't exceed the dose 'tho, and a teaspoon of honey held in your mouth and allowed to seep down your throat is great at soothing and coating the sore areas and will help calm the old coughing down. Nytol leaves you feeling groggy in the mornings but co-op sleep aid from their chemist doesn't for some reason, although they contain the same properties.Hopefully, once your throat/ cough has calmed down you'll be able to sleep but if you try these things and it's the same in 4 days time, see your doctor

Lots of tea (if you can find Yogi teas or Medicinal teas they work best), Airborne tablets in water are also too, they give you important vitamins but work best went you just start to feel sick.
Vicks has a product that you use in the shower, its a tablet that reacts to water and fills up your shower like a eucalyptus steam room...that helped me and smells good, also Vicks vapor rub on the chest.
Stay away from milky products and drink lots of clear liquids. Feel better...Happy New Year!

Your throat is probably sore from coughing...if you take Mucinex (an expectorant) it'll loosen up any phlegm so you can cough it up and get better sooner. The sore throat should leave shortly after the cough.

The sore throat, garle with warm salt water, the cough, when you go to bed at night put vicks on your ches and a old t-shirt over it to keep it in. Drink hot tea, lots of water and jucies, keep warm and sweat it out.

Benelyn cold and Flu...the one where you take four tablets a day and the night time one is blue and you sleep like a baby!
Drink PLENTY of fluids, especially fresh fruit juices. Blitz an orange,grapefruit,lime, lemon and a Vitamin C tablet in a juicer and drink one every morning. Add sugar if you need.

antibiotics strong ones - to prevent the infections frm getting worst. If not it will take longer to go ways. Take some gastric meds together to prevent ulcer since antibiotics can induce gastric. Drink a lot of warm water .
