Hmmm...I usually stick with orange juice, soup, tea and Dimetapp (not mixed together :P).

Feel better!

I avoid oj cause of the sugar. :/ Drinking tea. And taking my cold medicine I bought in a Boots in Edinburgh. I maintain it should make me feel better than American medicine. ;)

Thank you!

I bought flu medicine at a pharmacy in Golders Green when I thought I was ill, didn't use it, and I STILL haven't used it. And I also bought these toe cushion things in a Boots, thinking I would use them on my blistered toes, didn't use 'em, they're sitting in my medicine cabinet at home. Sort of a waste of money, but it's still cool to look at the Boots label. Drug store items are not meant to be vacation souvenirs!

They sell Boots stuff at Target now - at least they do at the one near me, in "The British 'Aisle'" (nyuk nyuk nyuk).

Although I suppose buying Boots goodies in the US isn't quite the same as getting it in the UK, even if Tarjay is the place where you can get it.

Zicam reduces the length & severity of your cold, as does oscillococcinum (both homeopathic). I don't know if it does any good, but I love ginger orange juice when I have a cold.

Damn cold! I hope you're feeling well soon.

I called my pharmacist (aka my sister) and asked her to get me some Zicam, thank you. Ginger orange juice sounds yummy! Thanks!

She's not sure she has it/can get it, but she said she'd check.

CRACK.

I've had a cold for almost two weeks and nothing freaking work. Maybe Crack does.

Stay off the crack

I was taking Airborne all yesterday, and Zicam last night, and I feel a tiny bit better. Try any of those??

I watched a Dateline special that said Airborne is worthless. Zicam however, I love!

Hahaha, really?! Someone I know swears by that! Maybe it's the placebo affect??

*goes to snort more Zicam*
