Answers:
drink lots of water, it will sooth you throat and will make you feel a bit better, and i'd say have night nurse, that used to help me sleep through bad coughs, nothing worse than not being able to sleep when you feel like that, coz next day you feel twice as bad, and keep wrapped up warm now we have this artic winds and snow :) Health Question & Answer


Here are a few simple home remedies that will help to overcome cough. Have honey in a hot drink before bed time.Use a infusion of ginger thrice a day. Suck a whole clove without chewing it to soothe a cough. Apples bring a great relief to a person with dry cough. To relieve fits of coughing due to dryness in the throat, suck a few pepper corns.

A cold has to take its course!

If you wait for it to go it'll take about a week. If you take flu tablets it'll take 7 days! :)

Its the common cold, there is no cure for it! But tablets help prevent head throbbing etc.Health Question & Answer

I WOULD NOT DARE TOUCH ANY OF THOSE PILLS! They can be really damaging to your health. If I feel really ill, I really boost my intake of fruit and veg ( to about 10 portions a day) and eat loads of garlic - at LEAST 1 clove per day! (But you will need some breath freshener! )Health Question & Answer
