Well, I've got all those nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever symptoms from the TV ad...and just for fun and games I have them during the daytime hours, too!
No, I don't take Nyquil® or any of those other cold and flu concoctions. I have both aspirin and ibuprofen in the cabinet for aches and pains, preferring aspirin for these kind of aches. Some herbal tea soothes my throat and an occasional Hall's couch drop for the, well, coughing. They are good to suck on in between mugs of tea. In the evening when I want to zone out, I just add a splash of brandy to the tea. After all, that's what's in most of those cold/flu remedies - something for aches, a cough suppressant, and alcohol to knock you out! My home remedy tastes a whole lot better than any of those on the shelf at the drugstore!
So I'm staying home. Blowing my nose in between the chills and fever hills and valleys. And sipping tea. How are you today? Healthy? What do you when you get hit by the cold or flu bug?
