Sick of cold and flu


Chocoholic 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 understand Choco, drink some hot chocolate Chocoholic :lol: Hmmmmm my favourite thing. Although drinking stuff with milk in sometimes makes the throat go claggy. Can't bloody stop talking though! cadmus Take a peg of rum. put it on fire and drink it that way. its fun....and cold will be over in 30 minutes. dont take too much. it can be addictive. HP
[color=red]Thanks God u dont have Bird flu :P . I think arab people eat "Dates" and that keep them warm all the time and the other people cry .[/color] Liban
Once again a post in red. What did I tell you about that.
And what the hell is your point about dates?? It makes no sense. Thats not surprise. HP
[color=red]hahaha how cute :0) .You are not the mod of this forum and laws of your state are not valid here :P . If you hve problem ,come to fight club :wink: [/color] fayz 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 arniegang you are sooooooooooo correct GB us chaps never winge or play up to feeling pooly do we :wink: :wink:

GoodBai Correct..... sorry but must go now, I'm taking to my bed with this cut on my little finger :D ..... arniegang you winger GB - i broke a nail, so thats more of a reason than you, for me having to rest all day - a little cut indeed , ya wimp. Try breaking a nail :lol: :lol: Defo I feel the same Choco. The windy conditions this week caused me having a cold as well :( easternjewel aww guys! All of you - CHOCO, FAYS, DEFO - get well soon! Defo
I am eating a lot of fruit and taking some asprines to do so :P :wink: Thanks Easternj 8) FeiPo
Tell me about it, my work's AC is the same... ... :evil: yshimy oh, got the same problem at work...... But they put it on HOT, not warm, i hate it. :angry4:
I'd rather they just put it on Fan to circulate air and the outside temp is good enough
Chocoholic 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. Defo
Sometimes maybe :oops: :oops:
Jeevan From here on make sure you have a balanced intake of Vitamin C to prevent catching cold.:) Hope everyone gets well soon:) cheers, Jerry Chocoholic 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 GoodBai 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 ? Chocoholic :lol: Hahahaha, you know it's soooooooo true!!!! tinkerbella Ok get well soon people! have some herbal tea or something....or hot water and salt and gargle in other words make music from your sore throats! :D Defo
Say what?! :shock: :D tinkerbella Gargle your favourite song :lol: for at least 5mins and keep repeating the process :D Defo
And you are sure it will help? *scratches head*
I think ur just trying to make us look like fools :P :wink: tinkerbella hey no way! seriously it works for some people with minor sore throats! it works for me! Defo Can I gargle with vodka instead of water as well? :P :P tinkerbella you could if you wanted to...i know a few people that gargle with any type of alcohol :P :) Defo :shock: They should work in a circus :P Chocoholic 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. hashman
add Vitamin C to da list easternjewel yeh! And hot milk with a lil turmeric and black pepper powder works best for me! Add a little suger for a better taste :) tinkerbella turmeric and honey...no need for docs when we got our elders to help us out :lol: cadmus believe me guys...try rum on fire Chocoholic Hahahaha Cadmus - so funny! Looks like this is turning into the alternative remedy thread - good one guys :lol: Defo Yeah, no need to go to the doctor anymore :P
