I have had a bad cold for 3 days now. Blocked nose, coughing etc. And I've had absolutely no voice for 2 days!! (hubby is loving it!).

I've just taken panadol when my head hurts from coughing. Strepsils to ease the throat. And I had a homeopathic nasal spray to clear the nose occassionally. But tonight I discovered the LEMSIP satchets in my cupboard. Just woofed one of those down, and it feels better already. It's got paracetamol in it. I also have some Lemsip day/night tablets - and it has all 'natural' ingredients like zinc, echinaecha etc. But I haven't taken those. It normally says on a pack "do not take if pregnant" which this pack doesn't say... but I'm just trying to 'sweat it out'.... being a martyr mind you!!

Hope you recover quickly!
