Hey ladies i have the flu thanks to my lovely son got it from school id say and man oh man do i feel like crap,it sucks as i know there is not much we can take for it anyone have any suggestions on what can try to help me out a bit,i know one recipie but it has rum in it so can not have that one
Oh Im just getting over the flu, it was awful. I took lemsip max, lemon and honey drinks, vicks vapour rub, vicks vapouriser, garlic tablets (REALLY helped) and at one stage, lying in bed unable to move with sinus headache and aches and pains, I took a mersyndol...this really helped, I know you should only take it sparingly but I was desperate!
I hope it subsides soon, I found with the garlic tablets, mine only lasted a few days, now I just have a blocked nose.
i was told by my doc that Vicks is good to use and eucalyptus oil. Breath these in on a tissue (just like 2 drops) and it will clear the synus and everything. Apart from that there is panadol.. keeping warm and sleep is the only way to fight it really. Be warned tho... being pregnant seems to make it stick around for abit longer then normal.. oh the joys!!! good luck and i really hope u get better soon. Ive been sick for about 6 weeks now and i was told by my doc it prob wont go away till i give birth...
