When you have a cold and a sore throat, what is your usual medication?

I don't think these nipple clamps are doing me any good.

Bottle of Whiskey sometimes does the trick..

Make yourself a hot toddy...

Adult Hot Toddy Drink



A wee dram of whisky
1 teaspoon honey
Boiled water
1 slice fresh lemon/lemon squash
1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
1 clove (optional and needs to be removed along with the cinnamon stick before drinking the hot toddy)


1. Put the honey into a mug and disolve in a wee bit of boiled water.


2. Add the whisky depending on your taste. 1 -2 tablespoons is recommended.


3. Top up with more boiled water. Add the cinnamon stick and cloves if used. Leave to stand for about 5 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and any cloves used.


4. Add the fresh lemon/lemon squash, stir well, then sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg if used then serve.

Personally I just leave it be and work through it. There are much worse illnesses that we may suffer in life so these are just minor annoyances.

Forget about poofy modern versions of a toddy. For a proper toddy you need:

A mug.

A generous large measure of Scotch. (not the good stuff, rotgut will do fine.)

Water, just off the boil.

Sugar to taste. (optional)

Cup the mug in your hands and inhale the vapours while the toddy cools to sipping temperature. (this helps to clear the sinuses.)

Have one of those with a dose of Night Nurse and you'll sleep like a baby.

If you can get through the nights, the days are easier to manage.

glass of water and a hot asprin

Go to bed with a bottle of scotch and a candle.

1, Light the candle

2, Star sipping the scotch a watching the candle

3, When you see 3 candles, stop sipping and blow out the middle candle

4, Close you eyes

5, You will wake up with a bad head but colds and flue will have gone.

My sentiments exactly, just work through it. I suffer from hayfever which is far worse than any cold I've had.

Whatever I can get normally. Corvornia and night nurse mixed together.

But if the misses has a sore throat, I just give her a protein injection, works for her

Normally I would, but this is ~~~~ing killing me

I phoned the doctors first thing this morning and he she asked me to visit the surgery. What started off as a simple cold a week ago has ended up turning into a full bacterial infection of my mouth, tonsils, throat sinuses and ears!

I've been put on Penicillin and some anti-inflammatory steroid thing.

I've been spending a small fortune on Anadin extra, Panadol extra etc. and none of them were shifting the pain. Last night I took a single dose of 1200mg of Paracetamol and it did ~~~~ all.

I usually respond very well to antibiotics, so I should be right as rain by tomorrow I reckon.

Isn't modern medicine amazing.
