I am also having a bad cold from yesterday, to make it worse I am having a painter coming to paint the house so can you imagine all that fumes with already annoying symptoms! I was told nothing can be taken such as child and flu remedies, but you can try honey, ginger and lemon with vapour rub for decongestion it will help gradually but useful either way
I was told I couldn't take anything that had a decongestant in it. I was miserable for weeks!
