Had tonsilitis, took antibiotics still left with a throat that feels swollen and a cough at night, symptoms seem to be escalating and I have a cute girl coming over this weekend. Make me better or at least suggest meds that will mask my sickness ^_^

Corenza C for swelling + Myprodol for pain
Also, you can put a disprin in a tiny amount of water, let it dissolve and gargle it. But do this only if you're not using Corenza C because it already contains aspirin.

I think that you should get the cute girl to rub deepheat into your balls. That will definately help!

starting to get flu myself. +1 for corenza c and myprodol.
you can also buy ginger beer and throw it in a cup and warm it in the microwave. use 1 med lemon with 2 disprins. that will sort you out quickly, but you need to rap yourself around in thick blankets.

Cannabis. It won't help the swelling, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut you won't care!
For seriaas swelling, get a voltaren (sp?) injection from your GP a few hours before the chicklet shows up.
Some (1 tab) Advil CS may also help because if contains pseudoephedrine which picks you up a bit if you're feeling crap. Effects last about 4-6 hours.

Busy getting sick as well.
What I've taken today:
Corenza C
Sinutab with Codeine ( essential if you don't want a runny nose)
Med Lemon
Vicks syrup.

Oh god. Scary thread.
Do not:
People die like that. I know med always have a billion side-effects listed & its difficult to take it seriously, but this is one of the few areas you don't fck with.
If you've got flu:
Pick ONE NSAIDs of your choice (e.g. Aspirin) & take that as listed. [*]
Get ACC from your pharmacy (a mucolytic agent). Here I do go above listed dosage, but do so at your own risk.
Drink coffee. Caffeine enhance the effect of some NSAIDs (esp aspirin) in a fairly safe manner.
Drink water. If you are losing lots of fluids then supplement electrolytes.
* ACC and paracetamol interact. Not sure whether its dangerous though, so maybe give that combo a miss
Same thing for hang over except lose the ACC, increase water and add a vit supplement.
Also, *read* the package & check the active ingredient and quantity. There are not many of the NSAIDs that are easily available, so chance are you are going way over the limit without realizing it (Steve & Digital Sol). You need to keep the total dosage below the limit plus space them out over the day.
Do not:
- Mix NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) [Most of the meds mentioned in this thread are NSAIDs]
- Exceed the dosage specified
- Mix with alcohol (Especially paracetamol)

I swear by taking a Berocca C, a Flusin S and spending the day in bed. Vitamin B/C to help the body fight off the virus, meds to help you feel comfortable and sleep to let your body heal.
Two days of this and you will be 100%
