    im actually wondering the same thing. I have a rotten cold, worse than the last one i had. I have a rotten headache, blocked up nose, sore throat and i havent been able to stop throwing up. All the mucous is making me nauseas. I have been taking panadol and drinking water but doesnt seem to do anything.

    Panadol is the only thing.

    But also, get some vitamin C into you. My Dr recommended that when I had a cold at 10 weeks and it went away after 24 hours and I haven't even had a sniffle since as I continue to take it.

    Fluids and plenty of rest.

    my cure all for a cold is this: panadol 4 hourly, bed rest, lots of fluids and chicken broth

    I make my chicken broth with lots of garlic, ginger and salt reduced chicken stock, a dash of salt reduced soy sauce, a dash of sherry vinegar and boil until the garlic and ginger have had long enough to seep the whole broth, then simply pour into a mug and enjoy Trust me its the life saver (as long as you put enough garlic and ginger in )
