... on flu remedies? I'm full of the flu, aching, feverish, sore throat, etc. I've been to the Chemist this morning and spent £14 on remedies.
So far this morning i've had 2 x extra strength paracetamols, 2 x Lemsips, 1 x spoonful of Cough Medicine, 5 x Strepsils (well I like them, they're like sweets) and I've sprayed my throat with one of them Godawful sprays.
I'm delirious
You ought to be careful (seriously); Lemsips contain paracetamol as well. Fresh lemon juice with caribbean honey and hot water is better than Lemsip and you can still take the paracetamol. (Of course, if you have no lemons to hand, scotch, sugar & hot water is an alternative).
Go to bed and sweat it out!
A bout of early morning heavy drinking could help.BEER THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.Hope this helps.
You can easily overdose on paracetemol. Tragically, there are no short-term effects but you can easily get organ damage from taking too much. Wino's right, you don't want to mix paracetemol with anything else that contains it.
Whenever Littleinoil is ill, the doctors advise alternating between Calpol (which has paracetemol in it) and Nurophen. This gives constant relief, but allows time for each drug to clear your system.
The best remedy for a cold is to stay in bed and masturbate as much as you can.
Actually, I'm not sure if it helps the cold, but if you've got a day off work, why not spend it wisely?
EDIT: I jsut carnt spel

Thanks for your good advice everybody, especially Col.
Maya my leg is being amputated on Thursday. At least i'll be able to steal shoes from outside shoe shops now, and on the plus side, Paul McCartney wants my number 
you could always try scotch, vodka or rum. that seems to do the trick every time I get a sore throat.
yes it is easy to overdose on paracetamol or aspirin. used in high does they will cause liver or kidney damage.
Don't take more than 800 mg per 8 hours. That's the max before you start getting liver damage.
The cool thing about your liver is that if you are kind to it, unlike many other organs, it can self-repair. Trust me, I'd be dead if the damage was cumulative.
The uncool thing, as has already been mentioned, is that there are no instant symptoms. I remember seeing a fly ont wall documentary once......this geezer necked like 50 paracetamol to kill himself. He woke up in hossy, and was all glad it "hadn't worked", full of love of life....until the doctor told him he had exactly 3 days to live. He turned yellow and died right on cue.
I must confess I've gone over the safe dose a few times in throes of agony (before the doc gave me trammadol), but always took it easy thereafter to give my inerds a chance to heal.....or I'd be toast.
I actually checked safe doses online, strangely, while the dosage on a box of paracetamol is the exact deadly dose, Ibuprofen can actually be necked in twice the stated quantity
Jems, I don't know what all taht shit you are taking is...
but I always like to down some whiskey...the kind from the States, when I've got a fever...don't know if it really helps the fever, but damn do I feel better...or at least I forget that I feel bad!!!
I always found smoking a rock or two eases the pain away. Crack......medicine for what ails you.
