Fresher's flu

[paddy]

Hi, just wanting to tap into NSC's collective medical wisdom!

Has anyone got any quick remedies for a nasty sore throat, headache, temperature whilst feeling freezing and a runny nose! I'm sure its more a result of being out till 6am every night but i really want to shake it off before tomorrow evening if possible.

I feel really un-student like sitting in my room posting on a message board when i should be living in the pub!!

Any advice much appreciated...

in advance

Just time.

I had it for two weeks last year, but my house mate had it for five weeks.

Nurofen?

Or just party through the pain barrier?

lemsip is the way forward, also sweating it out, eating hot food (ie curries) and drinking tea, give it a day or so and you'l be fine

Lots of booze and drugs, and maybe a bit of sex.

Adrie clearly didn't try any of that

Just the first two

just keep going out and that..,....once freshers week finishes THEN you can sleep

Lemsip max, and lots of water / fruit / vit c tablets

I've got fresher's flu early this year. 4th year running. Bloody freshers.

Its clearly caused by my wimpy southern immune system vs super strong northern viruses

Or it may be caused by some dodgy luminous face paint that i recall swallowing!

exercise, go out running and sweat it out

 

[Gullywog]

avoid hangovers.... stay drunk

Simple

Grate a teaspoon of fresh ginger put it into mug, add juice of a quarter of lemon and add large spoon of honey. Add hot water.

Repeat at 2 hourly intervals

and Bobs your uncle.

Blackcurrent lemsip powder, just add hot water. Works a treat!

[paddy]

[mattb]

take some ruddy medicine - have you never been ill before?

My advice would be to finish uni within 4 years, then it wouldn't be a problem.
