Luckily, this horrid time of the year is almost over. The time of the year when you stock up on your Vitamin C supplements. The time of the year where you want to put yourself into a protective bubble whenever you go on public transport. The time of the year when all your colleagues are at work, coughing, sneezing and ill. And it is also the time of the year where no matter what you do, you will catch at least one cold of some sort, be it a sore throat, runny nose, blocked nose, cough, fever, headache - or all of the above. Nothing frustrates me more when I go to Boots and ask for help, just to be told that the only thing that will work for a sore throat is ...  Read the complete review

My tough Rugby playing husband often gets Man Flu and will take lemsip, night nurse, etc and so on a recent trip to Tesco I spotted Sudafed cough at the Pharmacy for 87p reduced to clear so I purchased 4 bottles (in two transactions in case I was going to overdose!)

So after trying nearly everything in the cupboard/ house my partner came back with this Sudafed chesty coughs liquid. Apparently it cost £4.09 so I was a ...  Read the complete review

I was brought up a house where the only medicines in the cupboard were calpol (for when I was younger) and the odd paracetamol. Therefore, I had never tried anything like a cough medicine, and to be honest thought they were for weak-minded people. Boy, was I wrong! In my first year of university I was nearly always ill with some sort of bug or another. Nothing uncommon there - Freshers Flu, late nights and alcohol all added to a never-ending cold (not that it stopped us partying!). At one point about Christmas I got a really bad cold complete with awful cough. I coughed endlessly, and ended up with terribly sore ribs. Yet still I resisted such ...  Read the complete review
