just decided to get off the booze for a month and this happens, pretty sure its just a cold, not flu but not sure yet. head feels clogged up (slight headache but only when i cough), sort of sore throat, had a runny nose but thats stopped for now.

so whos got a suggestion on how to get thru this as quick as possible? im not going to suffer a week of hangover like symptoms the first week i decide to stop drinking.

take 2 aspirins and go to bed. Works every time for me

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Get a cup of hot water, two/three slices of lemon (full circles, not wedges) and a tablespoonful (a little less for me) of honey. Dissolve the honey in the water, add the lemon and pulp/mix it a bit.

Remember that too much honey will make it taste awful, so don't put too much in.
Drink the tea then rest for a while. Keep drinking the tea throughout the day. (like at mealtimes)

Eat lots of citrus fruits, vitamin C is the key, especially for prevention.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Wear an XXXL stripey jumper, put a toad on your head and spin round and round while singing I'm a little tea pot (its more effective with actions)

Take some ascorbic acid pills (that's vitamin C, just being a showoff ), binge drink water, listen to some easy music and get plenty of rest. Also, cover your mouth when you cough and wash your hands regularly in order to prevent it from spreading to others.

Omg that's so weird I have'nt had a drink for 2 weeks or so which is the first time in about 8-9 months and I got those symptoms anyway when my mum came round who's a nurse she had a quick look and turns out i've got Pharyngitis and gave me some Antibiotics. So now i'm off work for a week cause work won't let me go in with a viral infection.

I always buy a couple of 1ltr cartons of fresh pure orange juice - packed full of Vit C and keeps the fluids up - to drink over the course of a day or two - works a treat.

i had your _______(big word meaning cold) viral infection a week ago too. I did absolutely nothing, cause i got hairy balls, and it lasted one week then went away. It was probly due to the weather changes going from 25 to 0 degrees in a day.
