Choking on phlem and very sore throat today and cough started, my ribs hurt.
I sympathise with Gravitas, I hope he recovers soon.

Re: Have You Had a Cold this Winter?
I haven't had a cold this winter (so far) and don't often get them. I don't know if this is down to getting the right vitamins or not. My diet is most often a mixture of pre-made supermarket foods but also a good amount of fruit and veg. I keep fairly energetically active but maybe this hasn't got anything to do with it. Perhaps it's just a lucky resistance to colds.06-03-2019, 11:23 AM

Ok Tess darlin' - start the treatment - hot lemon & honey drinks every four hours with a couple of Paracetamol. These will make hot and you will 'glow' - that's good - its supposed to do this. Last thing at night hot drink again with a couple of paracetamol and dive under the covers. If, during the night you begin to 'glow' again, DO NOT remove the covers from yourself - all this is designed to help rid you of the virus that is causing your illness.

Re: Have You Had a Cold this Winter?
I have been doing that UJ!I also have Chloraseptic throat spray, nasal spray, Jakemans honey and lemon sweets, lip balm, tcp to gargle with, Vicks to rub on, Olbas Oil. You name it I have taken it, no change.
Went to the Vets for Dolly's flea drops and popped in Sainsbury's, by the time I got home I was boiling.
Going back to bed now
Yes Gravitas, nosel squirts do help.

Re: Have You Had a Cold this Winter?
Try propping yourself up a bit in bed Gravitas. Also try clearing your lungs by breathing deeply into the bottom of your lungs and coughing on the third breath. I was told to do that years ago when I had bronchial pnuemonia. If it gets too bad go to the docs.|
