[Margaret Pilkington]

Oh Dear........I hope you feel better soon.
Until then, plenty of fluids(I use hot lemon and ginger)...plenty of rest(let the housework go hang) and simple paracetamol for the aches and pains that a cold brings with it.
Inhale steam every couple of hours while you are awake....it will stop the mucus from becoming too thick to get rid, of and steam kills the virus in your nose and throat.
Get better soon.
