Rant Lemsip!

[Raven]

So I have a cold, felt a bit iffy yesterday and woke up feeling awful this morning. So as usual out come the lemsip. Why the fuck do these taste so vile and why don't they make one that tastes nice??? I am ill, I need sympathy not something that tastes like drain cleaner!

 

[Ormorof]

hehehe i hate lemsip it tastes like cats pee

theres some good alternative berry flavored ones though

 

[caLLous]

Nightnurse before you went to bed tbh.

I like the Berry one. Alcohol tends to work better though.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Just use berries, meat and fatty food with a touch of alcohol. Yummy taste, works better

Ofcourse if you don't have a fever, you shouldn't eat anything as it'll kill the cold better, just hydrate.

I like lemsips.....

 

[Moriath]

blackcurrent lemsip 4tehwin tbh

 

[Ormorof]

this stuff is awesome:

 

[GimmlyThe3rd]

Blackcurrant lemsip with some added honey or the lemon with honey, great stuff.

Really sucks I can't get them here.

 

[megadave]

yeah blackcurrent lemsip tastes like ribena tbh

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Lemsip with a couple of teaspoons of honey. Sorted.

 

[Mabs]

if you can taste it you arent ill enough to need it

it;'s only decent when it's half and half with some laphroaig 10

Beechams All-in-one is addictive. I could happily drink a whole bottle and have to have a kidney transplant

Fuck lemsip, just make your own honey and lemon and take with a cheap paracetamol + ibuprofen.

No phenylephrine, and a blocked nose is what I hate the most.

Just accept you have a cold take a paracetemol and deal with it for a couple of days. A cold isn't worth subjecting yourself to all manner of noxious tasting remedies that do nothing or next to nothing.

dude, when I get a cold my life is over for a while. I am the KING of man flu, I kid you not. I'll do anything to make it go away, lemsips, whisky grogs, snorting lines of paracetamol laced with ibuprofen, setting my pubes on fire, whatever it takes.

sadly, most methods fail, and I just perish horribly until I get better again :-/

 

[cHodAX]

Beechams powder in hot lemonade, fucking epic for when you are feeling shit. Far better than any of the other much or Beechams capusles etc.

Good call.

2x8mg co-codamol, nose dries up and you feel alot better.

lemsips are a lifesaver for me at work. im a chef, and today our kitchen was around 38 degrees at lunch and it's not fun with a cold. lemsips definitely make it easier.

Take a couple of days off and leave your viral nasal secretions out of the kitchen tbh.

cant afford it

I had to bow down to perverted medical science and get antibiotics for the first time in about five years this weekend. Sinus infection was so bad that the inflamed sinus on my left side was pushing down on to the roots of my teeth, giving me an unbelievable moving toothache (top and bottom jaw). Hurt like a bastard. This is the fourth day of antibiotics (and Nurofen Plus) and the pain has finally started to subside.
