I'm poorly this week, which is rubbish, frankly. Generally I have the constitution of a very strongly-constitutioned thing, so to find myself in anything other than the rudest of health is something of a shock to the system. Also, because I'm not used to being unwell, I make a terrible patient who alternates between sniffy whinginess ...  Read the complete review

As a child, whenever I had a cold, my mother's solution was simple- she'd fill a bowl with boiling water, drape a tea towel over my head and leave me steaming away for a good few minutes. Add to the equation a few drops of Olbas oil, and the odd mug of honey and lemon, and my decongestion regime was complete! On leaving home, however, I ...  Read the complete review

I don't get ill very often, but when I do it tends to be a sore throat or a cold. We always have stocks of Lemsip in the house because my housemates like it; however I prefer to eat cough sweets and eat plenty of bananas (it's surprising how soothing they can be).

I'm a bit of a Lemsip fan. It isn't a miracle cure and yes rest and sleep and vitamin C do go a long way in recovering from a cold or flu and you can most likely recover without any Lemsip at all, but it does make the whole process a lot nicer! The taste isn't to everyone's, erm, taste. Whilst lemony it has the distinct taste ...  Read the complete review

I've used Lemsip in the past, but have always felt robbed when it's never actually aided in my recovery. I thought I'd give it another shot the other week while I was ill over Christmas, but decided as I always do that it just doesn't cut it, and isn't a great help. At around £2.50 it's quite expensive when you only get 5 ...  Read the complete review
