Please tell me, what is it with all the cold and flu at the moment? Everyone I know is poorly. And I swear all the companies even though it's winter still keep pumping the AC's making everyone sicker, some fresh air please!
My throat feels like I've swallowed a cheese grater.
Sorry just felt like having a moan - I hate being ill!

I've been suffering from a cold the last couple days as well.
I was in the Garden Centre today (yes i've become domestic), spent a couple hours there. I feel a 100 times better, plants and fresh air are the key, if you don't feel like venturing out dope your self up with some Tylenol Cold and Flu, that always helps me.
Hope you feel better,
GoodBai
Sorry to tell you this Choco but I think you've got a bad case of "woman flu". I reckon you'll be wandering around like some Victorian poet with tiny handkerchief in hand, sniffing away and wringing your hands in woe. You see, us blokes are soooo much better dealing with illness and just shrug off anything without a complaint :wink: . Can you honestly say you've ever seen a man acting the wounded soldier when they're poorly :wink: !
Better not answer that last one :D

I'd rather they just put it on Fan to circulate air and the outside temp is good enough

AC's are so not healthy things at all they just circulate all the germs and stuff - yuck!
Er guys never whinge when they're sick? Please! When a man is ill he turns into the biggest baby ever! They always use it as an excuse to make other people run around after them.
Anyway, the getting out and about has done the trick, plus lots of Lemsip.

From here on make sure you have a balanced intake of Vitamin C to prevent catching cold.:)
Hope everyone gets well soon:)

Echinacea is very good for keeping colds and flu at bay.
Vitamin C will do no good for smokers as the toxins inhaled in the smoke destroy Vitamin C in the body.
Jeevan
righto choco:),
Vitamin C wont help smokers.:) i dunno whats the brand name here for the medication but citrizine does help in colds.and for flu take a ibu para combination. By the way i am a pharmacist but am working in media and portals. :lol: .
cheers,
Jerry

Choco, I can't believe you said that about blokes and illness..... but would there be any chance you could pop the kettle on for me, nip out for a couple of DVDs, do a spot of cleaning and just whizz round the supermarket while you're on :D ?

:lol: Hahahaha, you know it's soooooooo true!!!!

Salt is a natural antiseptic, warm salt water rinses are excellent for sore throats and mouth ulcers, instant numbness.
Brandy is also pretty good for cols, but don't go overboard.
Hot lemon and honey. Or hot milk and honey are brilliant for the throat and warm milk also makes you sleep better.
