[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 313262, member: 29023"] Well, to be honest by the time cold has landed, there isn't much point in taking tons of vitamins etc! I have to be very careful of colds because of my asthma (like Sid, I am very susceptible to chest infections) but I just take sensible precautions and then symptomatic relief. Hot lemon drinks with a sweetener added and a slice of ginger, plenty of steam (head over a bowl of hot water, towel draped over head) paracetamol when needed and as much fresh air as I can manage! Really just common sense, plenty of liquids and painkillers when necessary. [/QUOTE]
