Colds

Vicks first defence appears to work well.

Whenever I've taken in pre-cold, I just end up with a marginally runny nose.

Never develops into a Defcon 5 style annoyance.

I've just taken some and I've got this tickly/burning sensation. Is it supposed to run down the back of your throat or have I inhaled too deeply?

I think trying to take medication to try and stop a cold before it's really started is a waste of time.

Really the best option is to make sure you are well hydrated, eat lots of good foods, rich in vitamins and minerals and take it easy. That way your body is going to be in good condition so it's not depleted and fighting other symptoms, so that way it can get rid of the cold easier as your immune system will be a lot stronger.

Is Lemsip just paracetamol?

It has something in for congestion too.

It's not just the drugs that help, its the general "ahhhh" feeling from the warm drink too. It does the trick for me.

Nothing you can do other then take paracetamol and diclofenac to reduce the symptoms.
