Get back to health
When you’re feeling terrible and simply want your cold or flu over and done with as soon as possible there are plenty of things you can do alongside taking a Lemsip remedy to get back to feeling yourself again.
Start by making sure you’re getting as much time under the duvet as possible. Rest is essential so you can conserve your energy for fighting off illness - so make sure you’re getting a few early nights. If nasal congestion means you are having problems getting off to sleep, try Lemsip Max Day & Night Cold & Flu Relief Capsules. This product relieves nasal congestion and so allows you to get the rest you need.
Eating lots of fruit and veg high in Vitamin C is thought to aid recovery. This includes kiwis, oranges and broccoli, they can help give your immune system a much needed boost.
Water, juice, herbal teas - it’s important to keep yourself hydrated. A nice hot, soothing Lemsip drink can help with this but be sure to drink lots of other fluids too.
Preventing the virus spreading
Although we all love good old fashioned cotton hankies they can spread germs more than paper tissues. We know most of you are already well-mannered, but as a small reminder, whenever you cough or sneeze put your hand over your mouth, this helps to minimize the release of air-borne germs.
As yet, there’s no cure for a cold, because it’s a virus, so the best you can do is treat the symptoms you have. And to help keep your immune system in tip top condition you should eat a balanced diet, keep your body well hydrated and make sure you get enough sleep - it all helps.
