o you do sound poorly , stay under the duvet and make sure you have plenty to drink , I always take paracetomol every 3/4/hours . You must take what suits you best .Hope you will be recovering in a couple of days .. take care *

Traditional advice is to rest as much as possible, drink a lot of water and take Vitamin C. Zinc tablets can also help sometimes. Echinacea has been found to shorten the length of virus symptoms. Don't take OTC medicine like Comtrex. That helps in the short term, but can make the symptoms last longer because it lowers your natural immunity by suppressing the very things your body is trying to do to rid you of it.

The reality of why we get sick so often is because we don't get enough rest. Are you getting enough sleep every night? Sometimes Vitamin C will not help as much immediately. You need to continuously have it in you in order to boost your immune system. You can do this by drinking plenty of fluids such as orange juice, cranberry juice, etc. Also, a type of medicine that works is Airborne. It helps prevent and get rid of colds that you may have. You just have to put a drop of it in water or juice and you are good to go. It works like magic! I hope this helps
