I get a cold or a cough when the winter comes in, so I take a lozenges (Panadol ,ibuprofen) and drink a lemon with honey and ginger.
I don't even remember the last time I had cold, but when I do, my mother always helps by giving me some medicine, She's experienced with that and knows what works best
Not so often. Perhaps once per winter time or autumn. I take lozenges, some powders for cold, tea with honey for my sore throat and bed confinement.
Occasionally, I get a cough or cold for several days. I will buy cough syrup in a drug store or use herb syrup to reduce cough effectively. Using Panadol or medicine containing paracetamol to treat headaches. You should take a rest and sleep to recover your body. If that cough continues, you need to see a doctor to get a description of treatment.
Yes, I do. Sometime I use the medicines like a herbal syrup and Panadol for a headache. The honey is good for soothing your throat, a lemon juice for supply your immunity and a warm ginger drink is good.
It depends, last winter I got them contemporarily three times, last autumn and till now only once. I recommend for a cough to take some syrup as a medicine, while drinking a cup of milk with honey before going to bed because it gives you a soothing effect for your throat during the night. For a cold instead, to prepare a hot camomilla infusion or with eucalyptus oil to breath in. It will help you to breath much better in few days.
I don't get cold or caugh for long time, beacuse i concentrate to support my immune system by eating good and healthy food , and recommend people to drink orange and lemon juice , eating food with hight vitamin c and nutritions.
i get cough 2weeks often i recommend people drink hot things like tea and boil some water in sefira and cover them selves inside
I have never got a cold and a cough for 3 years. I am really trying to be carefully when I be with other people. In winter, I use a mask and take some supplements so I protect myself from all diseases.
I not often have a cough or a cold I don't even remember when was the last I had this. Everything I can to recommend - just stay in bed and take a rest for day or two. It should help
