Virus hanging on

Sorry to hear that Tanith I have no help to offer and think you may just have to deal with it. Admittedly I was suffering grief for the loss of my son but I developed a cough last September which lasted 3 months and I am still coughing up mucus occasionally. I heard that it was one of those things which was going around and lots of people were in a similar situation.

Thanks Nannie it's so annoying as I can't remember when I last had this type of thing it has to happen now.

Tanith My hubby has been suffering for the past two weeks and there seems to be no improvement at all,he has taken the usual flu type remedies but he feels so weak and the cough is awful he has problems sleeping lying down and has taken to sleeping upright in the big chair,as you say the Dr will not prescribe anything its just got to run its course.Fingers crossed for your trip I do hope you improve enough to go.

Commiserations to all you folk with the "bug." My DD is in the same boat - her flu has dragged on and on.

Come on sunshine! - time to put in an appearance and lift all our spirits!

There was thread a few weeks ago about this awful cough and cold going around. It seems to last for around 3 to 4 weeks. We had it too. I can only suggest the usual cold remedies and let it run its course. I hope you make the trip to Edinburgh .. I hope it clears up soon for you

Me too, had it for a week now, better but certainly not gone, now DH has it ( and is very grumpy!)
Hope you feel better soon tanith ?
We take Benelyn at night (chesty cough stuff) which is knock out drops and the other Benelyn that doesn’t make you drowsy for during the day.
The blue coloured Strepsils are also very good.

Well thanks for the advise everyone I went to the pharmacy and she was very helpful advised me to take high strength vit C and also I bought some Bronchostop as it's supposed to deal with all types of cough and mine can't make it's mind one minute it's dry and tickle then productive so fingers crossed
