Hi there Everyone,

I've been soooo excited for Glastonbury, it's going to be my second time going. However, I woke up this morning with the worst cold ever and I feel terrible. Anyone got any remedies or suggestions that will get rid of a cold by Wednesday? Soooo don't want to be ill for the start of the festivals.

Thanks

Peace and Love

IM NOT A DOCTOR BUT:

Eccinacia. Only discovered it a few months ago, you can get it from superdrug, tesco etc. It's excellent, the sooner you take it the better. Couple it up with some effervescant vitamin C tablets (or a load of oranges) and stay in bed for a couple of days if you can.

You'll be fine. If you get plenty of rest, eat plenty of fruit and veg and take some vit C, there's no reason why you can't kick a virus in time.

You can't beat lemsip either. It's got Paracetamol to ease yopur aches, Vit C to boost you immune system and a decongestant which will help you sleep.

Good Luck!

Drink loads of water, stay in bed and sweat the thing out. Take loads of Vitamin C and you will be fine.

As people have said, lots of rest and vitamin C. Zinc supplements may also help, but don't go overboard with the dose.

The best thing I've always found for getting rid of a cold is the hottest chilli or curry that I can stomach. It's possible that the pain just distracts me from the sniffling, but it really does seem to help

Failing all else, this:

get f**king wasted that always works for me

Hot ribena - as well as being yummy it clears your nose and is full of vitamin C. Mmmmmmmm almost makes me wish I had a cold!

all the above plus max out on the cold remedy stuff like beechams; just be careful to stick to the recommended dosage of paracetamol based stuff; don't want a big liver and turning yellow for glasto
