Good old chicken soup works wonders for me!

For adults – hot lemon whisky drink (if you don’t/can’t drink alcohol use tea).
One shot of whisky, a few squeezes of lemon (or lemon juice), 2 teaspoons of sugar & boiling water in a mug. Drink as quickly as you can!
Rug up, jump in bed under lots of covers & sweat it out during your sleep.

Other than that, Vicks & Codral Relief (Mucus Cough & Cold works best)

Hope you feel better soon.

Definitely olive leaf extract capsules and also sambucol. if taken early, they definitely make a difference and can be taken as a preventative too.

So I tried Vicks on the soles last night which I have a really good sleep, no coughing. This morning I’m still ill, been coughing all today.

I’m desperate to try anything, except the onion soup. I can’t stand onions.

Honey & lemon ‘tea’ then sleeping with lots of layers to sweat it out (though sometimes I just have the tea)
Vitamin c in it’s natural form (oranges & grapefruits, and of course, the lemon in the ‘tea’)
My grandma also used to crush up garlic & put it in our socks overnight

honey, lemon and chamomile tea – gargle salt, dose up on more vitamin c in foods such as oranges, lemons, pineapple, kiwi fruit etc.

I bought these sambucol (black elderberries) capsules with vit c and zinc and it actually reduces the severity and longevity of my colds. =) I take it now regularly too as an immunity thing. it works really well

This is probably the oddest answer you’ll hear in awhile, its one of those crazy don’t know why, maybe science hasn’t figured it out answers… but when i had a relentless cough and nothing worked i smeared a generous amount of vicks vapourub on the soles of my feet and placed socks over them to sleep overnight…(read somewhere) IT WORKS!

My mum when we were kids used to make onion syrup. It was yuck but worked !! At the first sign of a cold or flu, slice an onion in rings, roughly. Put in a bowl and pour some honey over it. Not heaps prob about a tablespoon. Cover with cling wrap and put in fridge over night. In. The morning there will be watery liquid in the bowl. Have a teaspoon or 2 a couple of times a day. Hope this helps x
