I always tell the wife 'semen', but it's not applicable in this case!

When I had flu the other month I found that childrens calpol was the only thing that helped me! Something like 6 or 8 teaspoons if I remember but do check lol.
Lemsips didn't work at all, every flavour is foul! Yuk yuk yuk just thinking about it now makes me wanna heave!
Hangovers and flu aren't nice either pmsl!

Seriously this works for bad cold and flu

Drag yourself out for a run/jog/5 aside

2 pints of stella before bed with 1 n half the recommended dose of liquid nightnurse

You'll sweat all the crap out and sleep like a baby

by far the best to get rid of a sore throat is to garggle TCP

cheap as chips, numbs the throat and kills any infection/ bacteria

by it by the bottle, i cap full of TCP followed by 5 cap fulls of water

the only bad thing is, it tastes rank

got rid of my sore throat in 2 days, the old stuff is the best
