Basically had a cold for a few days now, today being the worst just woke up in a groggy mess

, can anyone recommend any off the shelf non prescription remedy to perhaps help me feel less groggy. Aint had a cold for eon's so im not sure what treatment is the best and would rather ask on here instead of buying 100's of different products

Lemsip Max strength drink powder does it for me every time. Brilliant stuff

If you're groggy then put some vicks into a bowl of hot water and give yourself a steam

Apple Juice! Works for me always, strangely enough.

VitC and Zinc. If you need a pickup try some good old caffeine!

Red wine. Or port and brandy, slightly warmed.

Munch down some Vitamin C/Zinc tablets and oderless garlic tablets

Then bowl of steaming water with a towel over your head to break up the congestion

Seriously this works.

Or you could try the miricle cure Mustard

get a lot of mustard grain and crunch it all up in your mouth.

Port and Brandy works well, also try to feel upbeat, have a larf, watch family guy or something. I like the Lemon Lemsip drink, it tastes great and you get painkillers as well!

those Lemsip 'direct dose' powder sachets are the shiz, that and orange juice
