Im willing to try anything!!!!

Ive had it now for over a week. Bulging eyes, blocked nose, sinuses, headache, very sore throad, body aches etc and I nothing seems to be making it ease off. I think ive become immune to paracetamol and the decongestant is doing f'all.

Anyone have anything they swear by when it comes to flu?

I have a simple remedy...

A fk off hot curry and a sizeable glass of whisky. The idea with the whisky being you drink enough to feel a bit drunk not slaughtered.

Once you downed that lot get straight to bed wrapped up warm, stay under the duvet and prepare to sweat like Fred West on Time Team.

Never fails me...

I don't suppose you have a cure for that...
