[kimberly23]

i’m having the worst cold symptoms and was wondering if anyone knows the best way to get over it and how long it normally lasts? x

I have just gotten over a stinker of a cold. I took regular paracetamol for high temp and headaches, smothered my chest, neck, forehead with vicks, put vicks on the soles of feet and a pair of socks to sleep in. I also drank alot of boiled water with grated ginger, fresh lemon juice and honey. Hope you feel better soon.

Just got over a horrible cold too. Sore throat, headache, blocked nose, cough, high temperature, chills. Drank lots of hot drinks, slept a lot and smothered my chest and nose in Vicks. Lasted about a week. Began last week Tuesday and was more or less myself on Wednesday. Hope you feel better soon...x
