It started Tuesday I coughed so much I'm in pain now every time I cough around my ribs. I feel washed out due to little sleep and the sickness. Generally I try to fight on but this time I've just sunk on the sofa. Wondering which is the best way forward to aid recovery.

I've just started with a cold this morning which I'm not happy about but so far the cough hasn't materialised. After having Noro 2 weeks ago and a black eye in Jan my year is not going well so far! My friend has had the cough too and was told to sip cider vinegar, honey & lemon which she said has worked well. Hope you all feel better soon flowers

I bought it in Boots rosesarered.
I bought the normal Otrivine nasal spray as well but haven't used that one.

This morning I was sneezing a lot again and thought 'oh, no, this is the gift that keeps on giving' but it's just a slightly stuffy nose again now.

My DD is very keen on cider vinegar with honey and hot water.

Three weeks into the horrible cough virus. I was in the Supermarket today and wondered what the wonderful smell was and realised it was bread. I had lost my sense of taste and smell with this nasty virus and only just realised.
