So.... which one...

[jessicahulme]

to get rid of my cold???

 

[yethersgill]

Whisky with lemon and honey

 

[Dubsie]

Neither: I pint of orange juice, 2 paracetamol and bed by 8.30pm, with a few drops of Olbas oil on a tissue to ensure your blocked nose unblocks and doesn't wake you. . Never get colds here that last more than 1 day.

I put lemsip as i don't believe in hot toddies for anything more than comfort. Plus they are vile.

But i agree with Dubsie on the orange juice, early night and paracetamol. Sounds like a very sensible suggestion.

Whiskey in warm milk here, works wonders

 

[Minxie]

Oooh hot toddies are ace - although I used brandy instead of whisky cause I don't like whisky.

Apparently the alcohol opens the airways, the lemon gives you a boost of vit c and the honey helps the throat

Granted probably a load of rubbish to justify its medicinal purposes but that's fine

Take a painkiller for the aches and pains and it will help give you a decent nights sleep

 

[PoppyAnderson]

Vicks Vapour Rub, rubbed into the soles of your feet at bedtime. Wake up, hey presto, cold gone!

 

[BevC]

Whisky, hot water, lemon, honey more whisky and a generous dollop of night nurse go to bed pass out wake up with blinding hangover and cold forgotten about works every time
