Get well soon, folks, don't forget the vick on soles of feet before using bedsocks, at night. It does help.

I havent got the flu but have a nasty cold - I tried ignoring it and put it down to sinuses but yesterday it hit me over the head until I acknowleged it was a cold!!!!

I have had two coffee pots full of hot toddy today, coffee, honey, oranges, cloves, milk and as much Brandy as the pot would take and hope to be better by tomorrow!!!!

Stray, I used a shringe with mine when they refused medicine. I gently squirted ever so tiny amounts into the side of their cheeks. It worked with a little gentle coaxing.
Just an idea.

Teresa, in between blowing my nose I coat my nose with savlon. It helps keep skin moisterised in between wipes. One time I had a red moustache like Hitler and after that I swore I would always use some cream. It works brilliantly. My nose isn't as sore.
Have to be persistent with it!
