Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi I am up to the neck in a cold and I fly out to Icmeler a week on sunday does anyone have any remedies for getting rid of it quickly as I do not want it lingering on until I go, cannot let it get in the way of my holiday nothing worse than a red nose on holiday.

Any suggestions welcomed!!

hope you haven't got a fever too. Dose yourself up with plenty of paracetamol, hot drinks like lemon and honey to soothe the old throat. If your nose is really blocked try buying some menthol crystals from the chemists, put a few in a bowl of boiling water and stick your face over the bowl, with a towel over your head and inhale.......Its lethal, but is certainly clears the sinuses.

Failing that, get the whiskey out and drown your sorrows!

Hope you feel much better before jetting off.

Ah thanks for that will stock up on the paracetamols but sorry cannot do the whisky cannot stand the smell of it, will use wine instead (may have a bath in it)

Most colds last only 3 or 4 days, you will be all right, by the time you go, there is a nasty bug going around my

Think you are right I am feeling much better today think it is on its way out thank goodness nothing worse than a cold on holiday.

Clare, as you say you like wine, what I do when I've got the cold is heat up some red wine in a cup in the microwave, and drink it down in one. Makes you sweat it out

if i am coming down with a cold a take euchanasia for a few days it builds up your immune system

Dotty,
I find the odd bottle ofv Aussie Ribena works wonders

...only problem is I can't fit the whole bottle into the microwave - but what a great idea!

thanks for all your advice going to try the tablets that build your immune system up will take for a week before hols to make sure it does not come back on my holidays.

Thanks some good tips.

One week on sunday ICMELER here I come.

take some euchanasia with you just in case, if you take them now it should clear up in a couple of days, but when i went in May i was ill for the whole holiday I wished i had taken them with me i will remember for next year
