Being sick sucks balls. Help?

I've slept half the day away already and I hate when that happens because it feels like I've wasted the day. But I'm pretty sick at the moment so my sleeping patterns are all out of whack and the worst part is I can't take any time off work this week because one of the other girls has started her vacation.

It's a pretty bad cold that started with a

We have a bunch of Lemsip anti-bacterial lozenges that I suck on when my throat is sore. It doesn't last forever but it provides some relief for awhile, and if you do it sort of intermittently all day it can make your throat feel heaps better. I don't know where we got them from but we have 3 boxes of them! You could have one :3 Or I think maybe you can buy them from the pharmacy?

I usually do a cup of tea with honey (honey is an awesome sweetener for one and works great for soothing a sore throat).

another of my regular cold rememdys is a hot toddy (lemon, hot water, honey, and whiskey- works great for chest colds and really helps a person sleep). If you want the recipe just let me know. Best thing is you can tweek the amount of honey/lemon to fit your tastes. If you make it right you cant taste the alcohol at all (not that there is very much in it anyways)

garggling salt water is usually pretty good too. I usually wind up downing tons of honey myself

I cant think of anything for for the cold.

But camomile or peppermint tea can work for cramps.
