for colds and flu!
Anyone got a remedy that works?
Currently we are in Spain hoping for some winter sun...Kids have been out and generously brought us both.... the 'flu. Had it now nearly 2 weeks
Funny really - oranges here are €2 for 5k so we had eaten hundreds (well almost), lemons are growing in the garden so used many more than usual, (and then there's the limes in the daiquairis), so we have had an abundance of vit C. I now know vit c does not help prevent colds and flu.
However 2 weeks has now passed and oh is still really ill, despite antibiotics and ginger soup - my son in laws recipe.
Anyone out there with a cold/flu remedy - will try anything

Sorry bisdu but can't help you. Missus and me rarely get colds let alone flu. However, our thoughts are with you both.

1. Honey and lemon or 2. tomato soup with fresh chopped ginger and garlic.

Hot sauna, spa, jacuzzi (don't know if any good but sounds nice ) Came down with 'la grippe' for the 3rd time this year (!!!) yesterday. Can't go to school Have taken vit C every day (the big pills) and that hasn't helped. M'off to docs in a bit for some anti-bios (which are last resort) Hope you're feeling better and other half gets well soon, its miserable and knackering xxxx

Hi Ali since I posted we have tried every remedy known to man - nothing worked - the only thing I would suggest made us a little brighter was Echinacea; just to add insult o injury , the day after oh was given he all clear from the flu, we both wend down with stinking colds - quite possible apparently. bon chance - hope you have someone looking after you

Yus, medecin today told me to watch out - real flu can lead to all the other nasty stuff. Flu is a virus, she tells me, but immune system is low so can attract all sorts of other nasties after. Be careful you two. I am alone here but have little angels watching over xx

I am alone here but have little angels watching over xx yes the other nasties I encountered was conjunctivitis (ie pinkeye) keep an "eye" out for bloodshot eyes and sticky stuff and get treatment immediately if you get it..seriously for the little angels xx
