Hello everybody, I was wondering if-

[Your usually cheerful broadcast from Milly is interrupted by a sudden burst of coughing and spluttering, and come to think of it, she sounds a fair bit croakier and stuffed up than she usually does.]

Excuse me. I was wondering if anybody's got any remedies for a terrible co-

[There she goes again.]

Cold. I hiccuped myself into a pond and I think made myself sick, and I've got far too many things to be getting on with- achoo!- to waste time being sick.

[Understatement of the century, it sounds like, as she's suddenly coughing and spluttering again.]

...my head hurts.

Hello, you're looking for cold remedies? Though I will say now that getting rest is one of the most important things to do while you're ill.

[Snuffle and cough]

Will that get me back on my feet quickly?

[legsfalloff]

It will help. Fluids like tea and soup will help loosen the build up, and a glass of warm water with half a tea spoon or less of salt will help your sore throat.

[stungunning]

Well I do like soup...

Do you recommend any special kind of soup? My grandma always used to make us chicken-noodle soup when we got sick at her house.

[legsfalloff]

That should be as good as any other soup. Whatever you can make.

[Coughs for a little bit.]

I'm not very good at making soup from scratch, maybe I should see if one of my housemates will help. Perhaps we've got some canned stuff too...

[legsfalloff]

Those are good. Whatever you can come by and won't take too much of your time. You should see first how you handle having a cold, but it does sound bad.

[stungunning]

I think I might spend today getting some rest and if I'm not better tomorrow morning I'll come in and see somebody. I'm probably being very silly but it's better to be-

achoo!

safer than sorry.
