The cold virus lives in the mucous membranes - so your body sneezes and your eyes run and you get a dicky tum - because your body is trying to get rid of the virus. So why hinder it with medicine?

Your body heats itself up (temperature) to create enzymes to fight the virus. Lowering your temperature actually HELPS the virus.

Let nature get on with it.

Urm a bacterial infection is not a virus.

What started off as a simple common cold somehow warped itself into an bacterial infection (obviously it didn't, I was just incredibly unlucky to have caught the cold then managed to infect myself with bacteria), the actual cold was gone approximately last thursday, but I didn't know as I was still in a lot of pain due to my throat, tonsils, roof of my mouth, larynx, ears and sinuses all having been invaded by bacteria. It was and still is to some extent utter agony.

I needed antibiotics, this one wasn't going to be sneezed away.

Dequacain also numb the throat & have an antiseptic ingredient. As far as pain goes, I have a prescribed co-codamol... 30mg codine & 500mg paracetamol (I'm not allowed asprin). These little buggers send me to the moon on a full dose.

ah codeine good stuff im on them tabs permanent for me knackered shoulder ( numerous dislocations, damaged ligaments and arthritis to top it all ) trouble is with high dose codeine on a regular basis can be addictive as its an opiate. good stuff all the same

I'm well aware of the drawbacks, also the lovely one that women should be educated about.

If you take codine based products for, lets say, a headache. Over time the codine will actually cause the pain, not take it away. This is why certain women always seem to have a headache.

I only take them when I'm in agony & can't walk like a human being. Alos can't take a full dose when I'll be driving, for obvious reasons ....
