🤒 Cold and Flu season has arrived!! We’re seeing a big increase in people coming in with colds this week. Below are some things that can help but please always ask us for advice!
🌡️ Fever, aches and pains? Paracetamol or ibuprofen can help relieve a high temperature, headaches and muscle aches, if suitable for you.
👃 Blocked nose? Saline nasal sprays can help ease congestion. Decongestant sprays may also help, but should only be used for up to 7 days.
🤧 Runny nose and sneezing? Some antihistamines may help, particularly if allergy symptoms are also present.
😮💨 Cough bothering you? Honey in a warm drink may soothe a cough. Some cough medicines may help with specific symptoms, depending on the type of cough.
🗣️ Sore throat? Medicated lozenges, throat sprays and simple pain relief may help soothe discomfort.
💧 Don’t forget the basics! Rest, drink plenty of fluids and give yourself time to recover.
