I was wondering if any of you have any tips for getting rid of this bloody cough and cold that has come on over night. I need to get rid of it by Friday at the latest or otherwise the hospital are going to cancel my op as I can't have a general anaestetic with one.
So put your thinking caps on, and if you do manage to alleviate my symptoms then many thanks in advance!

If anyone actually manages this, next stop Nobel prize.

White (clear) lemonade, some decent like R Whites.
Shot of a decent single malt (Glenfiddich, Glenlivet etc) Pinch of cinnamon
Spoonful of honey (clear)
Heat up the lemonade until its boiling, add the scotch stir in the honey until dissolved and add a pinch of cinnamon. Drink it as hot as you can stand it.

I don't know what to make of Vicks FIRST DEFENCE stuff, but I can say that I have never had a cold develop since I've had it in the house. Previously, I was always catching anything going, but now whenever I get the first symptoms, a couple of bursts of that stuff up my nostrils seems to kill it dead. It seems to boost your immune system .....
It's not that great, it's just another anti-bacterial product. Washing your hands frequently and throwing tissues away promptly will achieve the same thing.
Defendants might as well have said: Beneficent creatures from the 17th dimension use this bracelet as a beacon to locate people who need pain relief and whisk them off to their home world every night to provide help in ways unknown to our science.

Not if the bacteria are already up your nose.
But colds are almost exclusively caused by viruses, so anti-bacterials won't actually help at all.
