Flu and colds
Well the festive season is almost over but not the dreaded flu and colds season. Flu and colds are treble this year and the worst since the end of the last war.
If you feel yourself coming down with the flu the get yourself off to bed with plenty of liquids to help flush it away. Lemon and honey is good, you can make it yourself quite easily and add hot water to it.
If you have no one to look after you then fill a flask with it to keep it hot and regularily take sips of it.
One of my companions on my bedside table is a jar of vick, its a great help if you find breathing difficult. Take pain killers and keep warm.
There is not a lot the doctor can do for you unless it gets on your chest then a visit to the GP may be needed as it can turn into an infection quite easily.
