Head cold check list

I don't know about you, but when I get sick I forget things. Even things that I should really remember like, how to get well again. So, for my own reference and maybe yours as well, here's my Getting a Cold checklist.

  • For a sore throat: hot lemon honey drinks, or Barker's lemon barley cordial with hot or cold water.
  • Vicks Vaporub for easy breathing at night
  • A hot bath warms the body and eases the sinuses
  • Codral to sleep well
  • Keep warm, keep hydrated
  • Eat citrus fruits, kiwifruit, bananas for the vitamins
  • Comfort food: thick soup, irish stew, fresh vegetables
  • Watching DVDs or TV while wrapped in a duvet with a hottie or a wheat bag speeds healthfulness
  • Berocca, mega doses of vitamins help you feel better soon

If anyone has anything more to add, please comment and let me know!

PoF: not warm enough
CO: stoopid cold
