Symptoms:

Slight headache
Slightly blocked sinuses
Don't have a runny nose
Itchy/sore throat

My voice has almost completely vanished, its extremely difficult to talk now, resulting in much hilarity on the phone. Is there anything I can buy that might make my throat work again :D

Anyone got any clues? CBA with the local GP as its not really that serious IMO.

Take some drugs and moan like mad until a woman takes pity on you and offers to bring you the duvet and the remote control

I don't really like taking drugs, not even for a headache. I'm a man, only wimps take pills

Seriuosly though, I can stand the rest, just the voice thing thats getting on my nerves.

If it's anthing like I had, it'll turn into a snotty head cold and knock you on your arse for 24 hours.
I just drank loads of fluids then knocked myself out with an old lemsip made with a large slug of rum.

Bloke that worked here had those very same symptoms.

He had a good send off.

Two disolvable aspirin in a very small amount of water and gargle. Usually will bring your voice back for an hour or so. Although you obviously can't repeat the dose every hour.

Drambue seems to work almost as well but I'd never tell a patient to do this.

I think I'm gonna stop giving med advice on PH and go back to cars. Society's getting too litiginous.

Don't you dare, I had man flu last week and lived to tell the tale

Nice vintage whiskey. Gargle a bit, then have a couple of good doubles, neat. Should help / numb the problem

Nightnurse.

And I don't mean a PH lady suitably attired. Unfortuately. I'm sure that would work equally well (on the distraction principle) but getting your hands on one might be tricky...
