HELP!! 14 days to go and getting ill!!!

Oh no poor you!!! I always drink gallons of water/hot squash when I have a coldy/flu thing. Like at least 2 litres and i find it does work quite well.

Have some clear chicken soup and don't have anything dairy as it increases (ick) mucus production.

Hope you feel better soon xxx

? veggie!!!! Just about to go heat some minestrone!!!

God sorry!!! I didn't know. Well clear soup is good because it is soothing and hydrating - and I meant drink 2 litres of water/squash a day ?

Oh and sleep lots and watch dvds/chill

WSS-plus lemsip or paracetamol.

At least youve got it now looby, you'll be right in a few days don't worry

get well vibes to you

I've got a duvet, a cat, film 4, a pint of water and a packet of dolly mixtures can;t go wrong with that!!

Geet well soon!!!!

Hows about a hot toddy and an early night, sweat it out!

Get well soon.?

Echinacea to boost your immune system, also vitamin c and zinc to zap the cold! Lots of fluids and rest.

Hope you don't get ill, but if all else fails I find a couple of those max strength capsules really good. Even better if taken with a small amount of alcohol!!!!

Definitely what claireac said.......Echinacea and high dose vitamin c and zinc!

Beechams cold & flu liquid sachets & a box of kleenex anti viral. That's what's got me through the last week.

Another vote for Beechams cold and flu, and lots and lots of vitamin C. High dose tablets, and lots of citrus fruit. Plenty of water. You'll be fine by the big day, and with all the extra water, have fantastic skin too!

UPDATE: still don't actually feel ill... just have a huge lump in my throat (which I can see if I open my mouth enough, using a mirror obviously!!) now I'm paraoid that I'll be ill and get over it in time but OH will pick it up just before!!

Ooh, that sounds a bit nasty! Is it your glands do you think? Maybe get yourself down to the doc's tomorrow!

LOOBYG!!! Me too!!!! I started having a scratchy throat at the end of last week. Now its a full blown cold - am taking lots of vitamin C and paracetmol. Just feeling sorry for meself. ?

So - trying to do table plan but can't be arsed. Am gonna leave it to H2B and just order him around from the sofa ?

Oh no poor you. Definately agree with the vitamin C and zinc and the lemsip max strength.

Tables plans?! Don't go there! still waiting to hear from some of OHs mates!

I have discovered the joys of lemonade - the bubbles 'scratch' my throat and its luuuurvly!!

Napiers do a really good echinacea and elderflower liquid that you dilute and drink x3 a day its fabulous get the OH on it too just to be on the safe side!

hope you feel better soon

Ooh yes would echo what others have said - echinacea and plenty of liquid.

i wish i had taken my own advice - sitting here with a streaming nose and worsening cold - urgh.

My SIL2B got a really sore throat just before her wedding and it was due to stress - do you feel stressed looby?
