Apple cider vinegar with Mother, a spoonful of that in chamomile tea with bit of honey.

Every morning

It won’t have the desired effect unless you spell it correctly.

You've been on bluemoon long enough to be able to spell vimPto properly :)

Ladies, gents. I can deal with a runny nose, heavy head, aches and pains but a sore throat can get to fuck. It keeps me awake at night…

Any home remedies that steer away from the usual? I’ve tried Lemsip (shite), honey, gargling warm salt water, Strepsils, Locketts etc. and no joy.

Mainly something that’ll help me at night would be bliss!

Sleep is easy after hot toddy:
Lemons, Honey, triple shot of whisky (use the cheap stuff), hot water. Two paras.
Oh, add another shot…..sleep well.
Note: Lemsip is more expensive than whisky so use fresh lemons.

Thanks for all the suggestions everybody!

Don’t got for symptom eradication when you are ill. The illness is in your cells, the symptoms are your body’s way of eradicating the illness.

You take medicines to get rid of the bunged up nose and lung/throat phlegm and you’ll probably prolong us the illness.

I’m all for that but I’m also a massive mardarse

One thing I've noticed with these bugs and infections recently is they seem to linger forever. Years ago you felt like shit for a few days or a week then it was gone. Weird.

I've got it too!

Knew I was coming down with something when I struggled to drink my celebratory pint of Stella in a pub on Holloway Rd after the Arsenal game!

That’s true or as we get older we don’t fight them off as quickly as we did when we were younger?
