Think I have the flu - any tips?

[stillhoping]

Hi All,

I think I have the flu with a sore throat and aching hips, bum & legs. Any tips on what to do. I have taken some panadol, and I'm guessing rest is my only other option.

thanks

hmmm not a lot you can do i am afraid...
maybe inhalations?
lemon and honey drinks?
bed rest?
hope you feel better soon.

hello

you could try my really disgusting concoction that tastes like crap but it helps with the symptoms:

crush 2 cloves of garlic into a mug
pour boiling water over garlic and let that brew for a minute.
add lots of lemon and honey and as soon as its cool enough, scull it down (don't sip it or else you won't want to finish it)

I make this as least once a day when i have a cold and it seemed to work for me.. i also gave it to my husband when he was sick and he said he felt better.

it smells terrible so try not to smell it before you drink it lol

good luck and get plenty of rest too.
