Recommendations for covid cures solicited! Vaguely sensible things, not vinegar up yah clachah/s who am I kidding? Daft ideas go
Panadol or ibuprofen for fever. Difflam double strength throat spray. Decongestant or sinus rinse. Lots of fluids. Half of chemist warehouse.
Hope you feel better soon. Rest up!!
Chicken soup wonβt cure you but it sure will make you feel better. Panadol or nurofen will help with fever and aches.
You can kill it with chilli - not my idea
A cat applied to the lap as a makeshift heat pack.
Then snacks.
Garlic and horseradish tablets to dry out the snot. Lots of fluids. Rest. Panadol. Eat little bits when you're feeling like it, I lived on rice crackers and cream cheese last time.
I've had it twice. First time was very rough, solid 2 weeks of existing on the plane of pain.
Black lemon honey tea helps, if only to get sugar and water into you. Bread as it's a neutral inoffensive food. Lots of water, sleep whenever you can to jump forward in time.
Keep cosy and comfortable
Wish I could help, but I can't. So far I've missed having it. Sending get well soon vibes.
I seem to remember that icypoles/icecream apparently helps a bit with symptoms. Worth a try.
I'm on round 2 official, but probably 4. Pretty sure I spotted you at the thing, but piked on waving.
No probs - interesting crowd. Enjoyed a few convos with random strangers there. Loved the singing.
Where there is David there will be singing! And oft intentionally daft astrological predictions
My kind of guy
every time I think I've had it I've tested neg. I think it's was just bad testing
I found lots of sleep, vit d , and drinking water helped the best
