What do you take for sore throats and colds? I used to always make a hot lemon and honey drink before type 2 diagnosis-any suggestions please
 
I take a painkiller like Nurofen for sore throat, and a decongestant (Contac) for colds.
And Brandy,:)
 
If you soak q tips in hydrogen peroxide and let them sit in your ears and hear crackling or popping its killing bacteria. Do this 3 times a day and it will reduce the severity and duration. If you do it at the first sign it can stop the cold in its tracks
 
Since I,ve been diabetic, I have never had a cold or flu, so I have been lucky over the last 2 years
I will be interested what people take in readiness of when I get a cold
 
I had a throat infection a couple of weeks ago, a packet of extra hot Fisherman's Friends cough lollies and a glass of single malt whisky before bed sorted it.
 
We take hot toddies-put 1 shot bourbon in a cup, add a squeeze of lemon, then fill the cup with very hot water. Drink this and then bundle up with a warm blanket and take a nap. You will wake up feeling better.
