Unfortunately, when I asked at the chemist they said paracetamol and menthol drops suitable for babies (e.g. Kaverna or Olbas) only. No Vicks, no Lemsip, no decongestants. I rang the GP to double check. They said the same and said to try inhaling steam.

I had a horrible cold. I ended up on antibiotics in the end.

garlic is great :-) roast it and eat the cloves whole, roasting it makes it sweet. x
