Because you can’t cure it, getting over a cold is about managing and relieving the symptoms as best you can. This usually means taking mild painkillers (such as paracetamol or ibuprofen) to help with sore throats, aching muscles and headaches. You can also use cough syrup to try and remedy a cough, or use congestion medication to try and clear a blocked nose. You can buy these treatments from UK Meds and with next day delivery options available, we’ll help you feel better as soon as possible.Alongside medicines, there are a number of ways in which you can aid yourself in quick recovery. Stay hydrated with plenty of water or juice (steer clear of fizzy drinks or caffeine) and eat nutrient-rich food that fuels your body and helps it fight the infection. Try and get plenty of rest and consider steam solutions to relieve congestion.
