Hi guys i guess im just after abit of support as I have a performance exam next week at uni and would you believe iv come down with a cough, cold and sore throat. I rammed absolutely everything down my throat, gargling aspirin/ bicarbonate of sodium, ibuprofen, paracetamol, honey and lemon, orange and raspberry juice, does anyone else have any ideas what to do to make it go away? any ideas are extremely appreciated.

thanks!

Cider vinegar and honey is supposed to be v good.

drink some warm water after u've coughed..... this is what i've been doing.... my voice doesn't go when i have a cold or something....

Loads of Vitamin C and have an Actimel or Yakult daily. Lucky it's struck you now, coz you've still got time to recover. No partying at the weekend, eh!

Good luck, hope you feel better very quickly, and everything goes well on the day. Let us know how you get on.

eeeew yuck! normal vinegar on chips yum, but honey eeee makes me sick!

lol... well I've never had to try it, but I'm told it works brilliantly.

OH NO!!!! I'm so sorry! I've been sick a lot before performances and I know it is no fun! Sore throats usually don't last too long so you should be over that in time, the cough might hang on for a while though. If you really want to get well I would suggest taking medication. Cough suppresent, anti-biotics, all that stuff. As for the sore throat, drink plenty of liquids, eat soft soothing foods and don't talk. I don't think there's really any way to get rid of a sore throat completely. If there is, someone post it cuz I want to know too!!

How are you feeling now after the weekend?

I usually take a 'vow of silence' and talk the least ammount possible so my throat gets a rest, i also take vitamins drink lots of water and get early nights

hi guys thanks for all your suggestions i have tried literally everything but unfortunately i have had to cancel my exam and plead for it to be moved to another day which will probably be in a few weeks. had to get a doctors note and they gave me some more medication whilst i was there but i still feel rubbish, and to top it all off im having really big problems with my dissertation aswell as im getting very confused with it all, oh well tomorrows a new day and maybe things will look better. Anyway thanks for all your help and concern its much appreciated.

hope you get better soon...
