Right, I have a cold and not many hours to live.

[Matt Evans]

Since Sunday, I have had swollen tonsils, a blocked nose and sinuses, a headache (probably due to the sinuses) and a cough. Despite dragging myself into work this past two days, I'm unsure as to how long I have left on this earth to be honest.

Can anybody recommend something that will speed up my recovery?

I'm currently on Beechams All In One medicine (pretty much liquidised arse in a bottle). I've also been knocking back some Strepsils, and Propolis lozenges (these are good, but only have a temporary effect). I've also been dosing up on Vitamin C and drinking plenty of water.

Is there a miracle life saving drug on the market (read "available from Boots") that I can buy? Or is it just a case of keep fighting, and if it's my time to go then so be it?

Thanks in advance.

First defense is suposed to be worth a snort or two but your past that stage.

On and stay at home FFS or next week you will be better and half the office will be sick with your germs.
