UUGH! Ill on my Bday!

[party_boi3423]

Hi. Well as you can guess from the title, its my bday and im not feeling great! I woke up this morning with the most dreadful throat and stuffed up nose EVER! Seriously, I can't talk at the moment because its soooooooooooooooo painful. Im worried that if i cough REALY HARD to clear my throat i might get sick. Although, i got a lot of presents. OH YEAH - Question: Is there any really good cough medicine? - ive tried everything and its doesnt work!

aw chris - its awful that you're ill on your bday. I doubt that clearing your throat and coughing will make you sick - emets rarely will v* rfom something like that so I'm sure that you will be fine.


I always find that 'nirolex' is good for throats and colds. But aslong as u keep takig ur medicene you should be feeling better very soon.


I hope u have a good bday, despite ur cold


get well soon!

i'm sorry to hear u are not well,its alwasy the way,when u want to be ok,u get ill! i hope u feel better soon...As for taking medicine,i'm not to sure but i have seen that advert,that promotes if u have a throat infection or cough u don't need to go to the doctors.........have u seen it......I think its benilyn.......u c everyone waiting in the docs surgery and over the tannoyed they say fast effective cough medicine will help to clear any cough,and everyone gets up coughing and leaves,and theres only one lady left sitting there with a neck collar on..............sorry i'm waffling now,not making any sense,the best thing to do is speak to the chemist becasue every medicine is different for different coughs..........anyway happy birthday for today,its mine next sunday lets hope i don't get ill lol!


take care vicky xxx
