snakehips 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Drink loads of strong tea all day and piss it out (the jorms with the tea). Go to bed with the window open (make sure you are well wrapped up in bed). Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hot lemon, whiskey and honey soothes a sore throat. Drink plenty fluids, inc. orange juice for vit C. Also to help clear a blocked nose, put some boling water in a bowl and inhale with a cloth over your head. Then the phlegm should be looser so you can give your nose a good ole blow!!! But honestly you can't beat paracetamols 4 hourly to keep your temp down, as its a high temp that makes you feel ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you live near the sea? Have a walk along the beach and get some ozone in your lungs (or sleep with the window open). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A common British folk myth dating back to the Victorian era holds that the smell of the sea is caused by ozone, and that this smell has "bracing" health benefits.[25] Neither of these is true. The characteristic "smell of the sea" is not caused by ozone, but by the presence of dimethyl sulfide generated by phytoplankton, and dimethyl sulfide, like ozone, is toxic in high concentrations.My bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, your post brings to mind the old "Skegness is so bracing" poster, which in turn brings to mind the "Skegness is so fucking shit" poster in The Viz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Head over a bowl of boiling water with a couple of drops of olbas oil in it and a towel over the top of your head. Opens the nasal passages and works a treat. Early night helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
