Frog in my throat, gig tonight, help!!

What's the fastest cure for sniffles, ahem-ahem coughing & a sore throat? I've been slurping back the lemsip all day & I'm thinking a couple of whiskies might do it tonight, but I'm still feeling a bit rough. Does anyone have any miracle tonic they can personally reccommend? Or should I just sing a set of AC/DC covers?

Forums: The Bar,

lemsip is bullshit, that stuff never works.
codral cold and lu kicks it in the arse straight away.
hot water with some hone soothes the throat
and try and have a wee nap if you can.
i assure you you will feel at leat 80% after you try this wee remedy.

failing that, whiskey is a great idea...

hot water with some HONEY soothes the throat

codral cold and FLU
what is going on with me today??

anyhoo..hope it helps, have a good one.

Thanks for that babe- Laughter is supposed to be pretty good for colds as well! I'll get some honey on the way home from work (flatmates devoured it within days)...

ooooo...and drop in a wee bit of lemon.
no worries. good luck to "the ridding of the flu"

Add a bit of cinammon (sp?) to whatever hot drink. ie the honey & hot water.

Don't talk from the back of your throat in a deep voice. Push your arms against the wall and hold your head up. It stretches your throat muscle!

Nah, it's the juice of 1 lemon, plus 1 teaspoon of honey and a little ginger (it kind of hums in the back of your throat and relaxes the muscles - but don't worry if you don't like it, you can't really taste) plus a mug of hot water.

whenever i feel a cold coming on i try LUCIFER SAMS TRADEMARKED COLD AND FLU REMEDY - no its not a mixure of Marijuana and Booze with a bowl of rice but its a Combo of Garlic Honey and Vinegar and trust me it works well, gargle the fourmula for 20 seconds, swallow and ther eyou have it, Might not sure a cold but it shortens its duration (although the same remedy worked last year for a sore throat and whatever cold i had lasted less than 24 hours)

Lucy Sam is quite right, vinegar and honey and garlic......... and if you can get a cider vinegar all the better

Try some Chinese herbal remedies.

randomly, panadol is quite effective, so I'd be taking some of that which should reduce the irritation. (There is panadol in Coldral I think so that would work as well).

Then to complement that, whisky is always good. Even my doctor agrees ; )

Cheers mate. I've got this old bottle of Laphroaig single malt lying around at home somewhere which should do the trick... damn it's strong stuff though...

I was actually going to specify scotch. And well, laphroaig, well that's a stunning choice. You'll be on fire!!

I've been consuming a fair amount of neurofen plus/coldrex/ and a nasal spray stuff to help me get through work with my current cold.

whatever you do DON'T DRINK MILK

if you wanna get all pharmacutical strepils anaesthetic throat spray rules - puts your throat to sleep so you don't croak or tickle. tastes yummy too.

//puts your throat to sleep

for 10 minutes max, throat spray for me is utterly useless.

A Low Hum - Seriously

gargle some goat semen. works pretty well to be honest.

WHAT THE HEL ARE YOU ON ABOUT?

gargle (then swallow) a tonic of garlic and vinegar - might stink out your breath but it works well for colds, trust me on dis 100%

Go to a chemist, get some "vocalzone" tablets.
Though this reply is probably too late to be of any use. I'm surprised nobody else is recommending the stuff.

Are those the ones that taste like 10 year old licorice caked in layers of dirt from next door to the water purification plant?

you seemed alright last night???
these erbal remedies work???

Cheers man, it was quite good to have phlegm-on-command for the loud parts... It was hard work though, I felt like a trainwreck afterwards...

try putting lemon juice, honey, nutmeg and shavings of ginger into a cup of hot water, and it will help

Well, I couldn't decide which one of these cure-alls to go for in the end, so I put the whole lot in a blender with a raw egg and a couple of bananas... mmmmmmm...

Actually I just walked back & forth to Midnights during the night getting Lemon Honey and Ginger drinks to go- the ginger helped a whole lot actually, that soothing peppery sensation was just what I needed. The girl at Midnight's reckoned I should chew a couple of cloves of raw garlic. I'm still summoning the courage for that...

Still under the weather today...

rest. sick = body tired = need rest.
and eat well.

hope you feel better soon fb.

Early night tonight.

good boy.

sounds like sumthing you would find in a sewer libra get a grip GO 4 DA WHISKEY!
