I've been on holiday in France and OH got a cold and of course gave it to me.
Nasty coughing and as I have permanent nasal drip problems, I have to rush to spit out in the bathroom otherwise the constant hacking coughing makes me sick.
Luckily I stocked up on Fervex in France, which has no caffeine or ephedrine (I can't do those = palpitations, so can't do lemsips).
I propped myself up on 5 pillows last night
Didn't get much sleep.
Read that constantly sipping water helps thin mucus so am trying that now.
And the chocolate thing of course!
